We are perched above Lake Karapiro, overlooking the lake, just 10min from Cambridge, 45min from Hamilton, 15min from Te Awamutu. Our address is 21 Amber Lane, Lake Karapiro, Cambridge. We have a brown tourism sign erected on SH1 that's hard to miss!

Directions from Auckland to Cambridge:
Drive south on State Highway 1 to Taupiri, south of Huntly. Just across the bridge entering Taupiri is a roundabout where you take State Highway 1B to bypass Hamilton and go directly to Cambridge.

Auckland International Airport to Cambridge (1.30-1.45min drive)

Directions from Cambridge to the Boatshed: Take State Highway 1 out of Cambridge ( heading south-east towards Rotorua.) You will soon pass a mobil station on your left and shortly after that turn right into Gorton Road. Drive on until you reach Amber Lane. Turn left into Amber lane and the Boatshed is number 21 down a longish gravel driveway.
