“Green” is more than just a trendy buzzword at the Huntingdon Manor Hotel, it’s a way of life. We’re committed to protecting Victoria’s natural resources and reducing our carbon footprint through an array of eco-friendly programs and social policies.

Ecostay Certified Program

​The Huntingdon Manor Hotel is committed to help protect our planet and reduce our impact on the environment.  This is why we decided to join Ecostay Certified, a third-party program that supports hotels across North America in their efforts to reduce greenhouse gases.
We invite our guests to join us in making a positive change.  Each night you will stay with us, we will make a contribution on your behalf to the Ecostay Reforestation project and help offset the carbon emissions generated.
