Rob at Emeraldene is a throwback to an era past. He believes in customer service and word of mouth business. I booked a 6 day adventure using Emeraldene as a base. Rob took care of all the bookings including Limo transfers. Everything ran smoothly and I had the best time. The rooms at Emeraldene are simple but impeccably clean. I... More

We really enjoyed our stay in the Eco-Lodge/Motel which is set in a subtropical garden and very convenient for touring the area and taking a trip to Fraser Island. Although not located along the seafront it didn't take long to drive there for the shops and restaurants. The room was comfortable and spacious and the swimming pool a must in... More

Emeraldene Inn & Eco Lodge is set amidst some beautiful well maintained gardens, that has a tropical feel....that is obviously home to lots of beautiful birds. We stopped over for 2 nights, on our way back home to Brisbane and incorporated a day trip to Fraser Island - which makes Emeraldene Inn ideal - as its central to everything, Fraser... More

Stayed here for 2 nights whilst experience a Fraser Island tour. So we stayed the night before and after. We had a friendly welcome on arrival and had been upgraded. This was an added bonus as it was my birthday whilst staying there. The room was really nicely presented, clean and tidy. I can’t say that we noticed the noise,... More

This is a good motel that is conveniently located for the ferry to Fraser Island. The check-in was very friendly, while the rooms are average, clean but a bit run-down. We have stayed for 1 night in August (winter) so could not take advantage of the pool or BBQ More

Hi Ilya, Thank-you for your review and your comments about our cleanliness and customer service. The Emeraldene Inn was built in the year 2000 and had a total internal refit under present owners in 2007. We operate a constant maintenance and upgrade strategy. Our Superior Rooms were totally renovated only 12 months ago, we replace our beds every 3 years... More

We stayed for a week whilst in the middle of a trip down the east coast and very much enjoyed it.

We recently stayed here for 6 nights in a superior suite. The room was large with plenty of space and the bed was extremely comfortable with lovely pillows, always a bug bear when travelling to find something comfortable. The facilities extremely good. Lovely outdoor area from the room. The location was great but you do need a car as you... More
