Emerald Hotel

Emerald Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed here before when it was a 24 hour hotel. Beautiful, large rooms. Mine was completely updated, because of competition it is now room only and a 12 hour reception. But my suite was huge, cheap.beautiful balcony onto river and just a fantastic family space. Glass lift. I have stayed in portside which is nice but i loved my couple of nights in the Emerald."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Matawhero?
The best time to go to Matawhero is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, great for enjoying the region's outdoor activities and vineyards.

These months offer long daylight hours and average temperatures around 24°C, creating ideal conditions for exploring the local wineries, many of which are situated just a short drive from Matawhero along the Gisborne Wine Trail. Visitors can enjoy cellar door tastings and vineyard tours without the worry of rain.

Autumn, from March to May, is also a lovely time to visit. The weather remains pleasant, with slightly cooler temperatures, usually around 20°C, and the vineyards are often bustling with harvest activities. This period is particularly appealing for couples looking for a more relaxed experience, perhaps enjoying a gourmet meal at a vineyard restaurant or a stroll through the changing colours of the landscape.

While winter and spring can be cooler and wetter, the region still offers a pleasant escape for those who prefer fewer crowds and don't mind cooler temperatures.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Matawhero hotel for you.
How much is the nightly rate at a Matawhero hotel?
Hotel prices in Matawhero often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
