Emeraldene Inn & Eco-Lodge

Good value. Good size room. Pet friendly. The location is a bit removed from things but that’s clear from the booking info and reflected in the price. A slightly older property but nice tropical gardens and well run check in etc.

It was like a very quiet little retreat away from everything once you were there., and very close to where I needed to be. The rooms were very clean and presentable, parking convenient right at your door. The staff that I met very polite. helpful and courteous.

Bobby was amazing!

Several minor issues add up to a 3 star experience: Difficult to sleep mainly due to appliance noise and light pollution. The TV stand by light, and smoke detector are very bright and shine directly into my eyes above the bed. Refrigerator motor is noisy so switch off TV and fridge at the power points until I left. Despite being cold outside, it was too warm in the room. Can’t open the door without traffic noise so turned down air conditioner, which woke me with intermittent opening and closing noises but didn’t seem to cool down the room. Switched it off to stop the noise but can’t turn off the white standby light. Whatever scent is being sprayed gave me asthma. Shower head mounted at shoulder height for a tall guy. Water went cold within a few minutes when I tried at night and in the morning. Cloth shower curtain sucks into the shower area. Kettle is stored unplugged instead of just switched off. Milk difficult to pour. Car park was cramped up against a bush and adjacent car, making it difficult to open door. Subjective, but mattress is a bit too firm for a side sleeper. Wish there were tie up points for dogs since they are not allowed on furniture. Would stay again due to good location, pet friendly, and fairly quiet.
