Huntley House is a piece of heaven in the middle of a city. One always has that moment of apprehension when you head toward a hotel that you have picked from a computer site while sitting at home thousands of miles away. From the second we were picked up from the airport by Douglas in the Huntley House car, all... more

I've stayed in a fair few 5-star hotels. Previously my favourite was the Westin Hotel Melbourne, but Huntley House is a notch above. It's an old country house that has been converted into a hotel, but nonetheless has many of the old features still remaining. The rooms are beautiful and I won't bother to describe them since you can get... more

Hotel is in an old mansion off the road with plenty of land around it. Rooms are beautiful and spacious. The old mansion serves as the main house with a restaurant, library and so on. Food is cooked in open kitchen and was superb - especially breakfast, where they more or less cook what you want. Free computer/internet. Has books... more

We stayed here in a Garden Suite for two nights in and out of Christchurch at each end of our trip. Couldn't afford a two-bed suite so our 11 y.o. son slept on a rollaway bed in the lounge room which was adequate. Room was lovely although one overlooking the pool might have been better. Gardens were beautiful and time... more

The only was hte housekeeper, Sandra who was extra nasty to us and also made a cooment " We have never had super shutle coming to our hotel." She was acting... more

My husband & I stayed here for 1 night in a Garden Suite. We really enjoyed the property but might have given it a better rating if we'd stayed in one of the rooms in the main house, which looked really charming. The main building is a lovingly restored house built in the 1800's, with charming public rooms downstairs &... more

This was our last stop on a week driving tour of New Zealand. This is a very well presented and run hotel. We were offered a tour of the hotel, however as we had driven some way that morning we opted to have a cup of tea in our room and relax instead. We went to the bar for our... more

We arrived in Christchurch to start our 18 day trip around New Zealand......Huntley House our first destination! We had a 2 bedroom appartment (there were myself, my husband and my 2 children) with full kitchen and laundry facilities. Rooms were beautifully decorated- very chic, and had everything in them that you could wish for. Even the locally manufactured toiletries were... more

We stayed at Huntley house for 3 nights and I wish we had stayed a lot longer. The room were fantastic, with spa baths and fireplace. Very confortable beds. We had breakfast included and it was basically cooked in front of you and so fresh. The staffs were so friendly and helpful. Even the chef came to chat with us.... more
