Planning a soiree?
This is our favourite way to dine and party. A long table stretched with decorative plates, silverware and served with something sparkling or red. If you're planning to visit us for a special occasion or a local looking for the perfect place to be treated, Emberwood is the spot to pick.
You bring the guest list, and we'll take care of the rest. Emberwood is made for celebrations, parties, reunions, or simply a good excuse to gather the gang, with our team on hand to help plan every detail.
After the after-party
And if you need a soft bed after an evening of fun and laughter, your perfect room is just a few steps away. Each is designed for the best night’s sleep, with beds made for comfort, a reinvigorating rain shower with GAIA products for the morning after, and a coffee machine for a freshly brewed espresso. With 98 rooms full of character and little luxuries, you can extend your celebration from one night to a day or two of delightful memories.
