    Judy & her team were brilliant in taking care of us during our stay. We felt comfortable & well looked after. Daily house cleaning wasn’t expected, but kept up to a fault. The pool was kept clean, the gardens were a welcome sight every morning....

Emerald Cove is perfectly located. You walk through beautiful trees full of bird life and onto the beach and for those that want more action than nature, there are 2 shopping centres and plenty of restaurants nearby.
I am passionate about keeping my guests happy and helping them to enjoy their stay. I love walking on the beach with my dogs and watching the sun rise over the ocean, and I am lucky enough to do both just by stepping outside the gate from Emerald Co
St Michael’s beach, located between the shopping mecca of Shelly Beach and the holiday playground of Margate, has something for everyone. It offers a safe swimming environment with shark nets and life guards on duty. Golden sands, paddle boats on the lagoon, interesting rock pools and a lawned area with a kiddie’s pool make this beach child friendly and ideal for families. Fishing under a spectacular sunrise is a great pastime. Deep sea fishing boats launch at Sonny Evans, small craft harbor just a kilometer away. Whale watching and deep sea fishing trips may also be arranged from here.
