Originally built in 1876 by one of Christchurch’s early settlers, the current owners have transformed Huntley House into a luxury boutique hotel.

Hospitality here is warm and traditional, and the experience is akin to staying with family and friends in a colonial home. Located in a private setting among lawns and gardens, it is easy to forget that Huntley House is situated just minutes from Christchurch airport and the city centre. Stroll through the grounds and enjoy the shrubs, flowers and trees that have been lovingly planted and nurtured for over a century. The house offers 17 guest rooms and suites that are traditionally furnished, but with all the modern conveniences.

Dining at Huntley House is a memorable experience with in-house chefs creating a diverse and interesting menu using seasonal ingredients showcasing the freshness and essence of Canterbury cuisine.

A highlight for guests includes an impressive fleet of classic and luxury vehicles that are available for self or chauffeurdriven hire. The collection includes a 1964 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III, Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, Bentley Brooklands, Bentley Turbo R, a Jaguar SS 100, MG TD 2000, Range Rover Vogue and for the real explorer, a Hummer H2.
