Frommer's Review
I walked into Huntley House and never wanted to leave. It deserves every superlative you can think of, with "opulent" and "elegant" on top of the list. A grand old home combined with modern new apartments built in the same period style, it hides down a long, leafy drive just 7 minutes in either direction from the city and the airport. I fell in love with the plushness of the five homestead rooms, but the modern one-bedroom suites and two-bedroom apartments overlooking the pool are equally enticing. Opened in December 2004, this is now one of Christchurch's top stays.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
