The room was ideal for our small party with a roaring fire, elegant decor, and photo's in the fabulous garden that completed our day. it was a delight to spend the day there with our family and closest friends. Diane and Gerard were wonderful hosts... More

Ambers is an amazing tranquil location with beautiful maple trees that line the driveway. Our weekend away from the city was everything we had hoped for and more. Gerard and Diane were wonderfully friendly hosts and their B&B is stunning. Thanks for the great stay and delicious breakfast. Casey & Gary

We stayed overnight at the Ambers en route north and wished our itinerary had allowed us to stay longer. This was without doubt among the best accommodation we experienced in during our 4 week tour of New Zealand. We were in the gite which would have been perfect for a longer visit. Gerard showed us the other rooms and all... More

Gerard and Diane were the consummate B&B hosts, so accommodating and wonderful. Throughout our 3 day stay, they both really made a concerted effort to make us feel at home and comfortable. The place was immaculate. It's a very convenient location, close to the motorway onramp (just don't try to get to downtown Auckland during the morning rush hour!). Breakfast... More

It was elegant, majestic and everything the website promised! We stayed three nights at the Ambers B&B where Gerard and Diane provided generous and perceptive hospitality in the most delightful of settings. We could not have asked for better. The home itself was very special - modelled on the stately English manor – and appropriately decorated and fitted with fine... More

Gerard and Diane were lovely hosts. Their bed and breakfast is conveniently 20 minutes north of Auckland. The home is a English style country home on 14 acres and is absolutely beautiful. The rooms were clean, breakfast was delicious and getting to know Gerard and Diane is worth stopping in for at least one night. This B&B does it right.... More

We had a very pleasant, quiet stay at The Amber's. We were greeted by Wolf, a very well behaved member of the family, on our arrival. The hosts,Diane and Gerard, were very welcoming and made our stay a pleasure. Their home is beautiful and is located in a truly peaceful valley. We would thoroughly recommend The Amber's.

We could enjoy a lot of different B&B´s during our stay in NZ. "The Ambers" was one of the most beautiful. The ambient, hospitality and breakfast were great. We will recomand the hosts and the house to our friends. It was a quick visit but very enjoyable.

We have spent 7 days at The Ambers in early February. It's a place with a unique and romantic atmosphere. Gerard and Daiane were perfect hosts. I'll never forget the delicious breakfast in the garden and our glass of wine in the night (with very interesting talking with our hosts).
