Testimonials

“On behalf of the NZ Careers Road show Team we would like to acknowledge the Emerald Hotel for accommodating our various Educational & ITO providers, the commitment & work Joelene had put in personally really made the stay very welcomed.
The praise from everyone about the size of the rooms & the Hotel facilities has guaranteed that we will be back next year, the extra mile the Hotel went to have breakfast at 5.30 in the morning out of the normal really shows that the Hotel caters for their customers & you went that extra mile.”

Willie Toelau - ATTTO

“Our committee wishes to commend Jana and George Kenton and the Emerald Hotel for providing us with a great venue with friendly and excellent service at the recent national conference hosted by the Gisborne East Coast branch of the NZ Farm Forestry Association. We know our numbers at the hotel for 2 dinners of 240 and 260 challenged the boundaries for the hotel staff, but they never faulted in their cheerful and consistent service and standard of food. We are very proud that Gisborne can provide for conferences of this size”

Best regards,
