This property is well-positioned on the hill looking out over Huntly, and close to the old SH1. The rooms were clean and well maintained. My only critique is that reception isn’t well marked, and the deck off the back of our room (where we parked the car) had high steps and no railing, which would be an issue for anyone who has mobility issues. You can see the owners care for the history of the property and are working to respect it with the work they undertake to maintain it.

The Description lies!! The amenities and room descriptions are inaccurate. We booked the honeymoon suite which says it has a king bed, but it only has a full. I am certain of this because I am 5’4” and if I lay horizontally on a queen, it is my height exactly, but my feet dangled off this bed. A quick search shows that bed sizes are the same in the US and NZ. Secondly, it says the room has a spa, which is false. It has a fancy tub/shower combo, but all of the spa elements are disabled and you only have the shower or waterfall shower feature. It also says it has a lake view, but it does not. We didn’t care about this feature, but I am mentioning it because it’s inaccurate. This was our last night in NZ and was looking forward to having a good sleep in a big bed and having a relaxing spa time before we travel for 24 hours. We opened the patio doors for some fresh air and sewer smell wafted in and was pretty gross. If this property was honest about the facilities and rated itself 3-3.5 stars with a double bed and regular shower, it was at a reasonable price point and I might have booked it anyway intentionally. However, you set the expectations way too high and we were extremely disappointed.

The rooms need to be updated. There is no air conditioning. The price was reasonable which helped a bit.

couldn't figure out the shower from instructions until the next morning unfortunately and all the things I wanted from it when booking were disconnected (it looked very high pressure and I'd done a day of sports) bed was good and overall a decent stay. just do expect a basic shower.

Lovely

Gorgeous! Originally a maternity hospital. They've kept beautiful decor and lovely fixtures and furniture. Amazing place. Little patio, large bathroom, lovely lovely lovely. Gracious host, beautiful views also.

Interesting history and nice and quiet place to stay.

Clean & tidy, nice staff

Interesting place to stay with good views.

Interesting stay in a converted maternity hospital. Nice shared lounge and conservatory with good views to sit in.

Nice character building.ezcelkent for the price.

Classic OK under new mgmt

Responsive mgmt., no blackout curtains

Awesome personal customer service

Customer service and care was exceptional.

Well worth 120 dollars for the room we stay in and we will will be back

Property is nice, however town is extremely limited for food options. I did enjoy my dinner at the Indian restaurant however, my picky daughter was less enthusiastic. We should have gotten McDonald’s!

very helpful and friendly staff, beautiful looking place.

Great view. I liked the age of the property. Reminded me of holidays spent at my grandparents country home.

All good

A 100 year plus building that seems to with stAnd the test of time. huge, warm wonderful atmosphere and Im so glad I found this place. The picture on google does not do it justice!

Great for stopping over on a trip out of Auckland. Little things of the old hospital still there which make it interesting. Quite cold when we got there & heating wasn’t on . Overall good overnight stay, just wouldn’t stay longer

A lovely stay on the way to our destination.

Clean and quirky

Hotel was clean and quirky. Checkin was easy and room was fine for a couple of nights

Clean and tidy and space for the three of us on our stop over. Helpful staff.

Was a very pleasant stay, though noise from the neighbouring property was concerning. I will be coming back for further stays.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Manor View Clean room quiet location with a nice view . The owner Gideon was very accommodating

The property was clean. I rated 5 stats for the cleanliness and comfort of the bed. The hotel is painfully dated. However, the service was great. Manor View surpassed my expectation!!

I had a late check in . The gentleman showed me around politely. Place has no breakfast. Room is ok , shower basic with plastic amenities. Bed had an electric warmer . Everything looked a bit cheap - carpeting , poster of the tropics on the wall , bathroom sink with 2 separate focets. Definitely not a 4* place . Basic 3*

The property was lovely our room was decorated lovely with old world charm It was clean the ground and views nice Huntley is not a tourist town but was close to the airport was our last night in NZ so was convenient

Easy check in

Interesting history, comfortable bed and congenial host.

Very friendly helpful staff.

Perfect for one night stay

Loved It

We had a wonderful 1 night stay, such a unique building we loved it and the history of the place

Convenient for me, as i was travelling between Whanganui and Auckland. The manager was very helpful.

Always stay here when traveling north or south when visiting Auckland. A great place with fantastic hosts.

The property is well situated and was very clean One point however is not as expected , the room itself is quite small with no sink in the kitcheen , we have to use the sink in the bathroom

great place

Quiet location parking Clean and tidy

Narrow driveways and not great parking areas

Price

Excellent views and comfort

A beautiful old house, a good distance south of Auckland. Huntly is a lovely town

This is a unique property with history and ambience that has been preserved by the owners, I would happily go out of my way to stay here rather than a motel a little closer to my destination in the future.

Lovely quiet location. Rooms are spacious.

Interesting Place

Small room but good for one night.

The hosts were very nice and friendly and I love how they restored the building keeping the history of the 1929 hospital but still making it a very lovely place to stay.

was great

Owners were very friendly and the room was tidy and clean.

Was a lovely place to stay, very interesting back story to the building. We have already recommended this property to our friends and family. An unbelievable find in Huntly

Will stay again

I stay here when I finish work late in Auckland and don't have the will to carry on down the motorway. Its comfortable and a nice way to improve the trip.

Very quiet area, just far enough out of town, poorly equipped kithen,needs a fridge freezer not just a bar fridge to enable purchase of frozen food, not everyone eats out at every opportunity!

Quiet and good priced.

Quiet Very interesting Comfy bed

The accommodation was tops for comfort, spotlessly clean, quiet, with friendly, caring proprietors. Having been a maternity home, it was also the place where my mother gave birth to my siblings; perhaps the very room she stayed in.

Unique

Cute place, but a little dated. It was a former hospital maternity ward from the 1920’s.

Loved the fact it was an old hospital converted but still with homage to the original purpose. The friendliness of the staff made me think I could ask for assistance. I love a quiet room.

Quirky place to stay with good views.

Great value

Very comfortable at an excellent price.

Great value with a lot of history

Very unique stay at this converted 1926 hospital with great history. Perfect location to visit Hamilton and to get to the Auckland airport in an hour. Rooms have small kitchens and cooking/eating requirements for 2. Beds are very comfortable and service was excellent. Bathrooms are small but this is a great value and one of our best stays. We booked a second nite...

Easy to find and quiet location

Lovely friendly owner. Beautiful Manor. Absolutely amazing spa. Lovely set up of room. Definitely look forward to staying again!

The property has delightful high quality 1920's architecture.Great views and grounds.

Clean and comfortable.

Friendly service. Quiet and great views

The room was adequate for an overnight stay. The bed was comfortable.

Great restored building (former hospital) with the appearence of an glorious country mansion. Great location away from any noise and great views.

Neat place to stay

Second visit, same good value

Very nice and tastefully decorated room. Very friendly and helpful owners. We got everything what we needed for our stay.

Very clean and neat.comfortable bed

Nice spa bath, very clean and spacious room, comfy bed and lounge suite. Shower pressure not very strong but not a biggie. Would definitely stay again.

Enjoyed my stay very much. I will be happy to go back

shower had low pressure

The property grounds are beautiful, very well maintained. It is a lovely old building and very welcoming. The staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly. The descriptions of the rooms and what were delivered were a bit off, and not very clean. The rooms need renovating (which isn't a biggie) but a deep clean would be a good start. Not in the best area of Hamilton either. Overall, it is a lovely building with a lot of potential, just with some minor improvements.

Loved the building and antique furniture. Bathroom needs an extractor for steam. And abit of Janola spray in the cracks of spa bath! Door handle to bathroom needs attention! And mold? Plus plz get cleaner to check light bulbs in lamps

Beautiful view, loved the unit size and amount of beds.

Quiet stay in Huntly

A nice quiet location and limited noise onsite despite being fully booked. Nice garden area. Spacious room with nice jetted tub. Good for overnight and short drive to Hamilton.

Very quiet

Great place. Peaceful

clean tidy peacefull

Great stay. Friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Unique place to stay good price

BEAUTIFUL place

Very Helpful and Friendly!! BEAUTIFUL place. BEAUTIFUL room! Recommend for something different.

It is beautiful. It has a great location, space and environment. Nice clean rooms.

We liked this place. Its quirky. Friendly staff and great views. We were lookling for somewhere to stay while visiting local dirt track. This was perfect. I recommend Manor Views. We'd stay again. Its good value.

Beautiful and peaceful place with an interesting history. Would be great for big family gatherings here each family have their own space but plenty of room in the communal spaces.

Very unique

Nice old heritage Manor with a lot of the original 1926 features remaining.

Happy in Huntly

Ideally situated for travelling. Clean and tidy property and very helpful management and staff.

Thank you for a pleasant stay! Everything was very clean and comfortable.

Nice spot

Very good location close by all food and grociers store👍

Very beautifull. Luxe. Amazing bathroom. Host was warm and friendly at 11pm.

It was a clean room and suited my needs for the night.

Love the history of the building, the big open windows with afternoon sun streaming in. Good sized rooms, plenty of parking, great views over the river. Very friendly staff and great amenities in the room :-)

Granted I paid the cheaper rate for a room but I really expected better. No hangers in closet, stains on bed spreads, dishes in room but no soap to clean them, bare light bulbs from ceiling, carpet threadbare. In desperate need of a fresh coat of paint.

A real surprise very individual with character. We watched fireworks on Guy Fawkes Night 05/11/2019 on a warm spring evening which was a bit surreal for two travelling Brits.

Just a very authenic nice place to stay, very clean and freindly staff

Liked it.

I arrived late, very friendly and welcoming staff despite the hour.

Awesome setting in an ex hospital. Loved the décor and the spa bath was great.

It was a very welcoming homely place to come in out of the rain to after a very stressful day

Great location, interesting property, good views, welcoming hosts, and clean and comfortable room. A great nights sleep thanks.

Very lovely place to stay very roomy for large families
