Our Story.
Architecturally designed by Samuel Farr, the heritage listed Manor House was first built in 1882 as “Te Wepu” the home of a prominent businessman Henry Richard Webb, his wife Augusta Ann Peacock & their family.
Following Webb’s death in 1901, the large family property was continually subdivided, eventually becoming a boarding house in 1911 and hidden away behind a brick house in the 1950s.
In 2004 extensive restoration work bought the house back to life becoming the focus of the Merivale Manor boutique accommodation - standing proudly today at 138 years old.

They succeed in providing accommodations for the discerning traveler, that are simply "The Best". They pride themselves on attention to detail: spotless rooms, wonderful amenities, beautiful furnishings, extraordinary kitchen facilities, and a most inviting aromatic diffuser scent throughout.
