Our residents & staff came together on Saturday for our end of year Christmas Lunch at the beautiful and historic Canterbury Club in Christchurch. Everyone enjoyed drinks, great company, and a delicious three-course meal in an elegant setting, celebrating the friendships and memories made over another fantastic year at Amberley Country Estate.

A big thank you to our residents & staff for making the day so enjoyable and to the Canterbury Club for hosting us so well. Moments like these are a great reminder of the strong sense of community we are building here at Amberley.

We’re already looking ahead with excitement and hope to be celebrating Christmas 2026 in our new Clubhouse right here in Amberley, which is currently under construction and will be an incredible space for many more gatherings to come.

Here’s to a great year behind us and an even brighter one ahead!

This afternoon our wonderful ladies gathered in the Clubhouse for the final Ladies Lunch of 2025. It was a lovely afternoon full of delicious food, good conversation, laughter, and great company.

A big thank you to everyone who joined in and helped make this year’s gatherings so enjoyable.

We look forward to seeing both familiar faces and new ones as we continue our monthly Ladies Lunch tradition in 2026.

This morning we had the pleasure of welcoming Amberley RSA President Colin Hearn to our Clubhouse for a very informative and engaging talk.

Colin shared insights into the history of the RSA, how the organisation operates today, how you can become a member, and even touched on some pieces of local wartime history.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Colin for giving his time and sharing his knowledge with us. The work the RSA does for servicemen, women, families and the wider community is truly remarkable — and we are grateful for all they continue to do.

We are incredibly proud of TK and the progress he has made over the past five months as a Grounds Assistant. With support from the Mayoral Taskforce for Jobs, TK has stepped into an industry he had never considered and is thriving. Amberley Country Estate is committed to supporting local youth employment and providing real pathways for growth.

Congratulations TK, a Hurunui youth working at Amberley Country Estate. He’s been working as grounds’ assistant for five months.
This placement is thanks to Mayoral Taskforce For Jobs (MTFJ), funded by Ministry of Social Development.
TK says it’s an industry he has never considered, but he loves it.
Amberley Country Estate has been wonderful with the support and training they have provided, the Hurunui community is lucky to have such a supportive business for youth employment.
