AMBERLEY & LEITHFIELD 
Traditionally a stopping point for something to eat or a chance to take a short break from driving, in recent times Amberley has experienced an impressive growth in quality restaurants, cafes and accommodation options. Combined with the development of the nearby wine region, Amberley is fast becoming renowned as a great country retreat for short stays. Amberley is definitely a place to take your time to enjoy the cafes and restaurants, explore the stunning country gardens and discover the quality arts and crafts of the area. Amberley is also a popular holiday camp base with a couple of excellent campgrounds for tents, motorhomes or campervans.
Amberley has all sorts of interesting history for visitors to explore, along with great bush walks at nearby Mount Grey and Lake Janet. Just 40 minutes driving from Christchurch International Airport and 45 minutes driving from Hanmer springs, Amberley is the perfect country-style retreat. Leithfield is a short driving distance from Amberley. This small village is one of the oldest townships in North Canterbury and boasts a fantastic country pub that is popular with farming locals and city folk alike. Friday and Saturday nights at the Leithfield Tavern are normally a lot of fun with plenty of local hospitality and top-notch music from visiting bands. |
The Amberley Beach Golf Course with its sweeping coastal views is a 'must do' for any golfing fan while fishing enthusiasts will find Amberley a great base.
