We will cook a New Zealand-style barbeque for groups of 6-8 guests on our terrace in summer by prior arrangement. In winter bring some friends for a weekend retreat and enjoy a French-style dinner in our intimate dining room.  Relax before and after by a roaring fire in our guest lounge with BYO wine.

Dinner prices will vary dependent on produce and number of courses desired.

There are beautiful beaches, scenic walks, golf courses and horse riding nearby as well as other activities such as a new snow dome & go cart racing or enjoy our local village of Silverdale with its historic village and Saturday markets.

Spend a night or two unwinding when you first arrive before heading to sunny Northland one of New Zealand’s major tourist destinations. Or on your return trip south to other destinations such as the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula and Rotorua with its bubbling mud pools, geysers and focus on Maori culture.

Alternatively have a relaxing rest day at The Ambers before leaving New Zealand instead of staying in the city or at the airport.

We are also a great stay for Aucklanders looking for a relaxing romantic weekend away in the country while still being close to the city.

We are on the main route north only 35 minutes from Auckland and just 1km from the Silverdale exit of the motorway.
