    Boutique Hotel, excellent bar and restaurant, good complimentary breakfast - not like the normal plastic-wrapped offering common in motels. Governors Bay is a beautiful location with plenty of walking tracks nearby. Great Kiwi hospitality which is fast disappearing elsewhere in Aotearoa New Zealand.

    Best place to stay in Christchurch, add it to your bucket...

    Best place to stay in Christchurch, add it to your bucket list for your New Zealand south island adventure. Impressive historic hotel which offers large upstairs suites of the traditional bygone era which have been beautifully renovated. The best part is you can relax and enjoy the culinary delights of the restaurant downstairs, followed by a few night cap drinks from the bar - all the time while admiring the scenic backdrop of Governor's Bay, before wandering upstairs to your suite where you can continue to admire the view from the balcony leading out from your suite.

    Had a lovely stay in Otoromiro hotel! It was a short drive down the hill after visiting Port Hills. It was a cosy double room with a sink, and could step out onto a shared balcony overlooking the jetty, and there are walking trails nearby. It's above a pub, where I enjoyed a very tasty gluten free pizza. There were some muffled noises from below, but I was tired and it didn't seem to bother me. The room had use of a shared toilet and shower, which were clean and pleasant. Very friendly staff at check-in! Would recommend.

    This hotel is wonderful 150 years old! We had the king room and loved it. The balcony overlooking Governors Bay is spectacular. We enjoyed a meal in the pub and the pool! The breakfast was self serve with a lot of food. The bathrooms are shared which I was concerned about but they were spotlessly clean. It wasn't busy while we were there so not sure how it would be if they were fully booked. Wonderful stay thank you!

    Nice little hotel in Governors Bay. We looked for sth outside of ChCh and we were surprised to find this gem. Rooms are lights and functional and not to spacious. Bathroom sink on the room. Blinds for the windows available. Great pub underneath so not much walking and there is not much around the place anyway.

    Breakfast was continental and help yourself and that was fine for me. I loved the front garden seating area under umbrellas. Loved the view from the front balcony and the sounds of fantails flitting around. Just loved waking up in Governors Bay really.

    Did not have breakfast or dinner, however, we purchased a Salman at the Akoroa wharf, and the owner and chef were kind to allow us to bake it in the hotel kitchen. Great hospitality and accommodating to our of the cuff request. Thank You Very Much.
