[Zmugzy, 18.08.2007] The writer considers this "opulent" and "elegant" hotel to be "one of Christchurch's top stays". It is described as a "grand old home" incorporating "modern new apartments" that possess "the same period style". Huntley House is situated just a few minutes "from the city and the airport". The author was particularly impressed by the "plushness" of the homestead guest rooms. However, the "modern one-bedroom suites" and "two-bedroom apartments" with views of the swimming pool were "equally enticing". The hotel is allocated a three star rating by Frommers, indicating that they consider it to be of "exceptional" quality.
