Wonderful Stay with Furbaby

Our stay at Ambers was delightful, Wayne was a lovely host and ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. The breakfast goodies were delicious, the property was perfect and safe for my fur-baby Aston to run around and enjoy the outside area, and Sawtell is a little gem on the North Coast. So glad we chose Ambers for our stay and we'll certainly be back.

I booked Ambers beach house last minute for a spontaneous trip with very few K9 friendly options remaining. Now, I can’t wait to return for a longer visit. Ambers is beautifully decorated and is both cozy and luxurious. We were provided with a lovely breakfast and THAT BATHTUB. Highly recommended.

Perfect stay, lovely home

Ambers beach house was exactly as advertised. The home had everything need for a comfortable stay. This was a perfect stopover for my husband and I. Wayne greeted us and showed us around which was a lovely touch. Amber’s is pet friendly and both our cavoodles enjoyed the yard to run around even while it was raining. A continental breakfast was provided which was delicious, a yummy loaf, berries, homemade muesli, honey and yoghurt. The home was beautifully presented, very clean with a comfortable bed. I would highly recommend, Mardi and Wayne’s place to stay snd explore the area.

Honestly, I cannot fault the accommodation or cleanliness. Wayne is beyond warm and helpful. The location is a short distance out of town, but that worked well for us. Plus the fact that they made our dog so welcome was amazing!

Amazing Guest Experience

From the treats on arrival, for our four legged family members, to the fresh baked deserts on our last day - the care and attention to detail from the owners of this property is second to none. Local knowledge in abundance even where to stop for coffee and breakfast on our journey home - this is a hidden treasure. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely return. Nicola
