Amenity & Recreation

With plentiful health and wellbeing services and excellent schools, Amberley is a fantastic choice to either downsize and retire, or bring up a family. 

You’re less than 40 minutes’ drive to Christchurch (our second largest city), with its international airport, beautifully re-developed CBD and city amenities, but yet right on the doorstep of beaches, multiple ski fields, mighty rivers, and at the gateway to the renowned Waipara Wine Valley and the alpine village of Hanmer Springs.

This really is the best of both worlds. Explore what this fantastic region has to offer at North Canterbury's website: a fantastic resource. 

Some local gems

A few  Amberley gems are featured below: the legendary farmers market, a boutique brewery, to french pastries, designer clothing & homeware , some very, very good coffee and a local complete with deli. Visit amberleynz.nz for an overview too.
