Lodges In And Around New Zealand's Abel Tasman National Park

AMBER HOUSE - at the centre!™

Central, clean, quiet; easy parking. FREE Internet, SPACIOUS rooms, most with TWO Queen beds and air conditioning. We also have a Budget room available on the ground floor without air-conditioning but with double-glazing and en-suite shower and wash hand basin from NZ$39pppn!

............................................................................................

1897 heritage home with crystal chandeliers and ceilings more than 11 feet high downstairs with views to the Sugar Loaf and across Tasman Bay to the Arthur Ranges from upstairs. Twin balconies with clear, wind-up awnings give fine views to the Centre of New Zealand. Balcony Suite guests can lie in the bath and watch the sheep grazing on the ridgeway - very restful!

...........................................................................................


We are completely SMOKE FREE! (Smoking is not allowed anywhere on Amber House's domain - neither inside nor outside the house.)
...........................................................................................

All our room rates (except for the Overflow Room) include a yummy Kiwi breakfast . Some guests enjoy taking this on the verandah of our Irish rose garden - this is one of the sunniest spots in New Zealand. The (en suite and air-conditioned) Balcony and Garden Room rates include a delicious breakfast of your choice individually cooked to order together with fruit from our fruit bowl any time - we grow our own Strawberries and walnuts organically. Help yourself from our well-stocked cookie jar in the dining room!
..........................................................................................

Most long distance coaches, city buses (including the double decker city tour) and the shuttle into the Abel Tasman National Park stop right outside our rose garden. The Miyazu Japanese Gardens, the Farmers Market in Founders Heritage Park, the Huangshi Chinese Garden in Queens Gardens, the Theatre Royal and a great beach are nearby and the Sprig and Fern Pub just a two minute stroll.

.......................................................................................

CHECK-IN: Although we live at Amber House, there are obviously many times when we are absent (to take the children Irish dancing or to go shopping for example). However, we would much prefer to be at home to welcome you when you arrive. Please, therefore, email or text us any change in your anticipated arrival time. Our contact details can be located on your booking confirmation form.

.......................................................................................

CHECK-IN times are always ONLY by prior arrangement - usually between 14:00 to 21:30hrs on the day of arrival and CHECK-OUT time should typically be before 10:30hrs on the day of departure - other times by prior agreement.

B&B's in New Zealand do not have desk clerks on duty round-the-clock to await your arrival, so it is vital that the family knows what time to expect you. We have daily family affairs to attend to, but will have re-arranged our schedule to accommodate your specified check-in time — so your arrival time is extremely important! If this time changes either way by 30 minutes, please notify us as soon as you are aware of the change. Otherwise, we may not be here to greet you.
If your arrival time is very unpredictable we can arrange to have your keys left in a digital key safe outside the front door, but you will need to contact us for prior arrangements.

It's REALLY IMPORTANT that you now send us the phone number of the mobile phone you will be carrying on the day you arrive (and keep it switched on) so we can update each other with any last minute developments. (You usually won't pay any international roaming charges to RECEIVE text/SMS messages in New Zealand even if your cell phone is registered overseas...)

From our GUEST BOOK:

"The stay was fantastic and I cannot fault the hospitality in any way. Great rooms, good breakfast and a very friendly host. Thank you M."
Dr B P (Hamilton)

"We arrived at Amber House with tons of dirty clothes due to a hard time on a volcano mountain. In less time that it takes to say it, our clothes were refreshed and we could at last wear clean clothes. We had delicious and original breakfasts, and good advices to visit the area. Our pleasant stay in Nelson was mainly related to our hosts' attention. Thank you, friends, for the nice memory we keep from there..."
Erwann, Laure & our 4 children. (from France via Beijing)

I had a great time in Nelson and if I come back to New Zealand I will stay again in the Amber House. It is a wonderful place to stay! Thank you very much for everything.
