La Poste: historic accommodation in Amberley

There aren't too many Post Offices offering accommodation in New Zealand, however this historic building is now in private ownership and had been lovingly restored to offer a memorable experience for travellers to Amberley. Many features suggestive of it's previous function have been retained whilst creating a modern and comfortable place of rest for the holiday maker.
There is space to spread out. Nooks and crannies abound for quiet reflection, reading, writing and browsing. Enjoy a game of pool or chess, or just laze away the day in the private garden under the deck umbrella.
Explore the region during the day: numerous walkways in the nearby Mt. Grey recreation area; golf down at the beach; cycle trails; steam train in the Weka Pass; and , of course, all the wine tours and tasting that the famous Waipara Valley can offer.
Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only.

Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);

Fantastic place to stay for a few days of relaxation. Very spacious and well equipped. Handy to cafes and supermarket. When we saw how close the railway tracks were, we were a bit apprehensive, but there was no noise issue from the trains.
