Hadleigh - Five Star Accommodation Christchurch
All suites are 5 star rated, interestingly two were named after a former owner, renowned Christchurch architect John Goddard Collins, who lived some 45 years at Hadleigh. It was his two sons Kempthorne and Goddard who assisted with advice when the property was being restored. We selected the Cartwright Suite name in deference to Jon's pioneering ancestors who came from York in England in the 19th century. The Kowhai Garden Suite was named after the native Kowhai tree that flowers in yellow profusion just outside the suite.The blossoms attract the native Tui with its fabulous morning song.
Our five star accommodation in the garden city of Christchurch has ensuite bathrooms with personal toiletries as well as hair dryers, quality linen, fluffy duvets and robes. All accommodation offers comfortable seating, TV, coffee/tea making facilities, fresh flowers, glossy magazines, writing compendium, complimentary port, chocolates and home baking. Each suite is equipped with a folder highlighting Christchurch attractions and a local dining out guide.
Kempthorne Suite
   The Kempthorne Suite is our smallest, but has a cosy romantic feel to it. The morning sun peeps in the lattice windows through a sea of tiny budded roses which have relentlessly clambered to the second floor. Looking down, there is a brick courtyard edged with maples and bright blooming rhodos through Spring and Summer. The room is comfy with large easy chairs, a queen bed, feather down duvet and fluffy lambswool underlay. There is a wall of storage, victorian chest with matching bed side tables and an ornate guilt mirror. "Time for reflection" by New Zealand artist David Johns hangs above the original tiled Arts & Craft fireplace. There is also an additional sitting room with victorian writing desk and single bed. The drapes and bed covers .are in the style of William Morris the influential textile designer of the Art & Crafts period. The private bathroom is accessed independently from each room. The Kempthorne suite offers five star accommodation and is suitable for a group of three, close to the heart of Christchurch.

Goddard Suite
 The Goddard is a large sunny room, there are French doors opening to a private balcony, lean out and touch the trees. In Spring there are often nests with little fledgings waiting impatiently for mothers return. The colour scheme is neutral creams and whites with queen oak bed and headboard. The antique armoire is French, the writing table and chair is old English Pine, there is a chaise for relaxing and a comfortable easy chair. The art is eclectic New Zealand and includes an etching by Peter Leitch from his 1975 Historic Houses series. Jon, your host and his younger brother Chris are both design engineers by profession and erstwhile artists who also have works on display. The ensuite features a magnificent slate shower, the vanity unit is crafted from native New Zealand Rimu.

Cartwright Suite
  This is a large elegant room, a magnificent wall of closet space designed by "Urban Archaeology" and constructed from recycled native Rimu beautifully replicates the style of the period while ensuring ample storage for the traveller. The furnishings are Victorian and include both grand mother and grandfather chairs. The ornate fireplace and plush soft furnishings are evocative. The sumptuous king bed can convert to comfy twins if required. I love looking down onto the garden from this sun drenched room. I can see the pond, the bird bath, and if lucky a large Kereru or native wood pigeon lazily splashing there, though more often it is a gaggle of delightful native fantails. The bathroom is just grand, it was once the nursery in the 'old'
days so as you can imagine it is as big as an average bedroom! It is all beautifully tiled with concealed lighting, dimmers heated floor and mirrors above the native Rimu vanity. There is a walk in shower, but perhaps best of all is the big original claw footed bath which sits away from the wall

Kowhai Suite
The Kowhai suite is affectionately known as the garden suite as double french doors open wide straight onto the garden from the sitting / dining area. It is a magic place to be when the afternoon sun streams in. The garden lounger chairs look enticing too. The Kowhai is actually a fully serviced ground floor apartment extending to over 800sq ft. We understand it was once the servants quarters and main kitchen for Hadleigh homestead. There is little of the original remaining save the outline of the large inglenook fireplace which is now home to a large Italian slate bathroom designed as a wet room specifically with the disabled traveller in mind. Architectural interest is retained in both the original lattice and stained glass windows. A modern touch is the loft space with sloping ceiling and Queen bed. The main bedroom is on the ground floor it has a super king which can be converted to twin beds if required, there is a native rimu chest, side cabinets and antique wardrobe.The Kowhai suite is a cost effective option for a family,with access to the secure garden, full laundry and kitchen with all modern facilities. It also makes this suite perfect for longer stays for those who seek five star accommodation in central Christchurch. It is important to note that while the Kowhai suite is self contained, all our guests are welcome throughout Hadleigh and can join other guests at breakfast, for Happy Hour and indeed enjoy all the amenities.
