My wife and I spent a night at the ambers and felt home far away from home. Diana and Gerard are such lovely hosts, fulfilled all our wishes and gave us many great tipps for our journey in New Zealand. In addition the ambers is a little castle with many little nice details and a wonderful garden, just perfect to... More

We recently took over the entire house for a week for a family wedding. Hospitality like this is difficult to find these days and Gerard and Diane were amazing hosts with nothing being too much trouble. The house and garden are absolutely gorgeous, making it difficult to choose which room we wanted to stay in, and you get the feeling... More

We recently travelled around New Zealand for 2 weeks and this was the best accommodation for the entire trip. Our family felt spoilt! Diane was the perfect hostess, very helpful and a pleasure to talk to! The house and bedrooms are beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The house is in a very quiet location, with a lovely garden. We thoroughly... More

The photo's on the web site just don't seem to do full justice to The Ambers. First of all there is the lovely long straight drive with the house set centre stage in front of you. The room was luxuriously and elegantly dressed, with a divine en-suite. The house is a cornucopia of interesting and well placed knick knacks, souvenirs... More

Lovely tranquil location and really lovely hosts. We stayed in the Regency Room which was elegantly presented and a peaceful oasis. Breakfast was served in the dining room and extremely tasty. We drove over to Orewa Beach for dinner - not too far to drive. More

My husband and I enjoyed a stay at this lovely home in a beautiful rural setting just mintues from state highway one heading north from Auckland. Diane and Gerard are the most welcoming hosts which made our stay all the more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this luxury B&B to all travellers. More

Though you may have booked this accommodation through an agent, it's wiser to call the host and make sure they get the booking marked. We had a slight hiccups for our booking when we arrive. The breakfast was to die for! And I love their huge garden! More

We stayed at Ambers after arriving in Auckland for a week in the Northlands. It is located about an hour's drive from the airport so was a good place to make a stop when arriving late in the day. Nearby Orewa has a lovely restaurant to dine in, Joust. We stayed in the attic suite which was decorated beautifully in... More

As soon as you head down the long, tree-lined driveway and see the fountain at the end you suspect that this was a good idea. The house and hosts turn your suspicions into firm beliefs. This meticulously re-created Georgian style home is a delight, and has a nice, park-like garden to match. Gerard and Diane are good hosts who like... More
