Glentui is a small rural community in the Waimakariri District, New Zealand. It is well known for Glentui Meadows, a facility frequently used by youth groups and schools for camping.[2]

Close to Gentui was Birch Hill Station, a sheep station that was taken up by Theophilus Samuel Mannering in the nineteenth century. George Edward Mannering, who would later become an mountaineer, was born here in 1862.[3]
