Description
The family home was built in 1897; it stood on the southern shore of Nelson's Haven. Now the vibrant and exciting city of Nelson has grown up and outwards around Amber House, but the home remains a peaceful and helpful haven for travelers with all of our city's attractions just a short stroll from our front gate. Guests can amble to the nearby Miyazu traditional Japanese gardens and listen to the water bell, take a look at the new wharekai on Whakatu Marae, or simply sit on our verandah and enjoy the fragrance of the Irish roses in the front garden. On Friday afternoons, the Farmers Market is just opposite us in Founders Heritage Park while Saturday morning sees many of our guests off to visit the `World-famous-in-New Zealand' craft and artisan market in nearby Montgomery Square where they mingle with locals prodding organic vegetables. Although crystal chandeliers hang from ceilings more than eleven feet high downstairs, they do have a new 21st Century hot water system, satellite dish, Broadband Internet, en-suite bathrooms and our Blue and Rose Room have air-conditioning. Upstairs, the en-suite Blue Room has its own balconies with a view over Tasman Bay to the Arthur Ranges on one side and the Sugar Loaf and Botanical Hill (geographical Centre of New Zealand) from the other balcony.
