Pros:

This place quiet haven. Located in a residential neighbourhood away from shops, there are many directions to walk and enjoy the neighborhood. The guests are extremely quiet, and you won’t hear any noise, but will be treated to stars, indoor parking in your own unit, a very well, equipped kitchen, excellent quality, stay, comfortable beds, and excellent treatment from management especially from Kristie.

A rare find!
Pros:

What a great place to stay. We were only here for a night, it would be perfect for longer. Remote controlled lock up garage, 3 bedroom, 2 bathrooms; lounge; kitchen; outdoor space.
It seemed almost new.
It is 5 min drive out of town, but as long as you have a car,
It’s no problems.

Lovely 2 bedroom villa
Pros:

We stay here for one night while travelling for 2 weeks. The villa was easy to find, close to town and local amenities.
It would suit visitors who would like to stay more than one night in Emerald.
