Manor Views NZ

We stayed here because I was enthralled by the historical aspect of the facility. It was nostalgic for me. The history of it having been a maternity hospital aptly resonated with me as the day we stayed, was my birthday, and regardless of me not being born here, I still felt at one with the place. It was also located away from the town centre so it was quiet, and you could see views of the Lake as the facility is on a hill. The room had a kitchenette with microwave which catered for our needs. The bathroom was a bit compact but it added to the nostalgia of when it was a maternity hospital. So my imagination was constantly thinking back in time! It was great to read the story of the hospital’s history provided in the book of information. We sat outside on the verandah soaking up the warmth of the sun while looking at the views of the Lake in the distance which I had walked around as a personal challenge earlier in the day. The gazebo and grassed area was another pleasant spot to take in more views of the lake, and I enjoyed walking around the grounds trying to imagine the separate quarters as they were when it was a hospital full of newborn babies. I would have liked to view the other rooms after reading how the accommodation was developed from the days of being a maternity hospital as it all sounded very intriguing to me.

We enjoyed the slightly unusual style of this accomodation. The 100 year old building has been converted from a being a hospital and retains its old character. The buildings are very attractive and it has a great view over Huntly. Value for money was exceptional. A large guest lounge. Very friendly and polite host.

I absolutely loved the country location, the history of the place and the feel of it. The spa bath was divine!

Views were lovely. Great night's sleep the bed was comfortable and I had everything I needed. Very peaceful and quiet. The parking was good, but could be an issue if really full. Nice to see an old building be appreciated and utilized in this way.

We have stayed here on several occasions. We like the fact that it is about one hour from Auckland. So when we drive up from Wellington, it is not quite such a long day and then it is only one hour in the morning to complete the trip. Then on the way back, we take an hour off the return drive. We feel it is good value for money and the hosts are very friendly and polite.
