Henley is a village situated on the Taieri river, twenty-one miles southwest by rail from Dunedin, and is the centre of a dairyfarming community. It is seen at its best during the summer season, when crowds of visitors take advantage of the excellent accommodation provided at the hotel, and the excursions which run down the river to the Taieri Mouth and Beach. A steam launch towing a flotilla of small boats is the means of transit, and the scenery on the journey is picturesquely rugged, and pleasing to the eye. There are two specially large properties in the district, namely, the Berkeley and Henley estates. A very fine view of the Taieri Plain can be obtained from the top of the hills at the back of the township; the ascent is easy, and a quantity of native bush still enhances the beauty of the hills. Henley has a railway station, public school, church, post and telegraph office and telephone bureau; and a social hall for purposes of entertainment.
