Takapuna’s best-kept secret

If you haven't visited The Emerald - Takapuna Beach in a while or didn't even know it was there, you are missing out on one of Takapuna's most gorgeous hidden gems. It's perfect for business travellers and holiday visitors alike, with a wide variety of boutique self-contained accommodations available.

As soon as you enter the lush, sweeping entrance, you are immersed in a tranquil beachside oasis, surrounded by tropical greenery. From the restorative serenity of the gardens to the tasteful furnishings of the rooms, everything at The Emerald is designed with comfort and relaxation in mind. Guests awake rejuvenated by a restful night’s sleep to the sounds of native birds in the courtyard garden at the centre of the property.

This beachside oasis is perfectly tucked away in a prime location right alongside the stunning Takapuna Beach – literally, just steps away – making it so easy to explore everything there is to see and do in the area. With free onsite parking, stress immediately ebbs away, and the temptation to relax, leave your shoes behind and stroll barefoot to the famous beach is compelling. Perhaps a picnic on the beach is the order of the day, with many takeaway options available close by. If you prefer to dine out and sample the many culinary and gastronomic delights Takapuna has to offer, it's just a few minutes' walk from excellent cafés and restaurants. Relax and enjoy the lovely autumn days as you soak up the sun, swim in the sea or stroll along the stunning coastal walkway to Milford Beach or Devonport.
