The property was first built in 1882 by a businessman named Henry Richard Webb. He was a member of the Parliament of Lyttelton and the Provincial Council. With his large family, the Manor was renovated over time to accommodate all of them. In his death in 1901, the land was divided and eventually became a boarding house. The 132 year old property changed owners over time and its foundations improved to accommodate guests.
