“Green” is more than just a trendy buzzword at the Huntingdon Manor Hotel, it’s a way of life. Winner of the 2019 Greenest Lodging Ecostar Award, we’re committed to protecting Victoria’s natural resources and reducing our carbon footprint through an array of eco-friendly programs and social policies.
