Hadleigh Boutique Accommodation Click for Audio/Video
May 2nd 2012 - Much to do
It's late Autumn in Matangi, there is early morning ground mist, the rising sun beams through the branches of the now bare oaks, it is quite surreal. This is my last message on the existing Hadleigh site . In the following Winter months we plan to undertake a tree planting project for our envisaged parkland garden and also develop a new web site ,"Hadleigh at Matangi." We will retain the web address www.hadleigh.co.nz and reintroduce the "Availabilty" reservation system which should be running from July. Hadleigh will open for guests on 1st October, our Spring. We are looking forward to welcoming guests to 'Hadleigh' and hope that among them we may find some familiar faces or friends of guests we formerly hosted in Christchurch . Thank you all for following our journey. For your interest .I have popped some random shots taken this morning, you may see touches of the Christchurch Hadleigh here and there.

Hi – my name is Jon Warring , my wife Shirley and I are owners and curators of Hadleigh, it is our home. We discovered Hadleigh back in 1998 it was modestly advertised in the NZ B&B book, and would prove to be a low key escape from our respective business careers . It was a lovely old property in an ideal location it was : - Warm comfortable, very understated - Surrounded by Rambling Gardens and Beautiful trees - A Short Walk to the CBD , Shops Restaurants, Hagley Park and Cultural Precinct. - A Great Base for Day Trips to numerous Coastal , Mountain and Winery areas. We were so enchanted that in a few short months we relinquished our careers in Auckland and, although not initially for sale, we negotiated the purchase of Hadleigh. The intent was to set up a home based Business Planning Facility from this central location. Just a short month after our arrival Shirley was diagnosed with cancer . Our first instinct was to return to family and friends in Auckland but Shirley found Hadleigh very therapeutic, she enjoyed the gardens and, like many facing their nemisis became less business and more people oriented. Plans for the Strategic Planning Facility were abandoned, we resolved to share our special place with overseas visitors . This was sparked by our own experience,we understood a frenetic schedule could exhaust the most seasoned traveller, Hadleigh would offer a brief respite. The stumbling block was that we had no hosting experience so We decided to welcome guests as we would our friends and family . It was such a pleasure connecting with people from all parts of the globe , so much so that it became the start of an amazing journey –
Since that time we have sought to :
