Latest Update: June 20, 2020
A message from our General Manager: 

I would like to reach out at this time, and give an update to our valued guests regarding Company operations, as well to wish you and your families well. 

We are pleased to announce that British Columbia, particularly Vancouver Island, has done an excellent job in flattening the curve of the spread of COVID19.  Thanks to the leadership of our Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, and the steadfast commitment of our local residents, we are now able to reopen our restaurants and public services safely.  Local attractions such as the Royal BC Museum, Fisherman’s Wharf, and The Butchart Gardens, have all reopened to the public with strict guidelines so that everyone may enjoy our beautiful destination safely.  Our local restaurants, including our own Pendray Inn and Tea House, are open with protective measures in place so that locals and visitors can relax and dine knowing that we have, as a destination, put the health and safety of our community first.  
To ensure the safety of our team and our guests, we have put measures in place on our property to reduce risk, such as:

• Touchless check-in/check-out
• Plexiglas at the front desks 
• Provision of masks and PPE
• Weekly health check-ins with all employees, including temperature checks 
• Elimination of stay-over housekeeping service
• Enhanced cleaning of common areas and guest rooms
• Enhanced dining safety procedures and take out menus
• Expansion of seating in our gardens and courtyards for outdoor dining and picnics

I would like to personally recognize the team at Huntingdon Manor for their hard work and professional commitment, and on behalf of all of us, welcome you back to the Huntingdon Manor and Pendray Inn and Tea House!  

Warm Regards,
Erin Cassels, General Manager
