Guests relax in an unparalleled setting at this small luxury
hotel with rural old-world charm close to the heart of the city of Christchurch.
The natural presence and charm of this fine colonial house
place it in perfect harmony with its most beautiful, mature and tranquil
setting. The manicured lawns and park like gardens which are fringed with
towering trees and ample shrubbery, belie its location just minutes from
Christchurch airport and city centre. Christchurch and the province of
Canterbury are steeped in pioneering history and places of natural beauty and
interest. Picturesque towns and villages, parks and
gardens, walking tracks,
alpine adventures and
miles of scenic
coastline abound.
Huntley House was
originally built in 1876
as a family home by J H
Twentyman, one of
Christchurch's early
settlers. The Reid
family, current owners
of the property, bought
Huntley in 1971, again
as a family home, and it
has long been the dream
of John Reid to convert
the house into a world
class Boutique Hotel.
Today we endeavour to
carry on the tradition
of hospitality and the
warmth of welcome that
has been the hallmark at
Huntley House for many
years. The Reid family,
together with a
dedicated and
professional team will
ensure that the welcome
is as warm now as ever
it was.
