Charming bed and breakfast with excellent pub and views of Governor’s Bay; staff was very welcoming and the upstairs patio was very relaxing to have a drink and watch the bay.

We started our NZ vacation here after landing in Christchurch and it was the perfect start. The pub served wonderful appetizers and desserts. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the bay--great for settling in and relaxation. The pool was cooler than I hoped. Breakfast is self-serve with limited but thoughtful options. Sharing facilities wasn't a problem, but there weren't many other guests during our stay. Staff was warmly welcoming and very accommodating.

MATTHEW

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean and comfortable but basic.... No tea or coffee making facilities, snacks or mini fridge (in the budget rooms) .... Not even a complimentary bottle of water. Staff were nice though... All very pleasant and happy to help. They made up for the lack in other areas. Shared bathrooms were clean but the shower ran cold after the first couple of minutes ( a temporary problem I was told). Continental breakfast was ncluded in the price of the room but again, just the basics....and never enough bread to make toast! But for the cost of the room it was a comfortable stay. Not a great deal to do in Governors Bay unless you like walking/ hiking but the town of Lyttleton isn't too far away. The Otoromiro Hotel is the ONLY place to get a beer and a bite to eat if you're staying here in Governors Bay... But it is in a great setting, the food is good and it's very popular with the locals!

Very easy check in. Our room looked a little tired but very spacious and clean. Comfy bed. Don’t be put off by not having en-suite facilities, we had no problem using the bathrooms when we needed them. Ate on site, delicious meals. All staff very helpful and friendly.

An iconic hotel , with a special history. Lovely setting. Staff very friendly and helpful. Sourdough for breakfast was yummy. Hotel, overall however, a ‘bit tired’. Shared facilities so, in my opinion room was over priced on booking. com.

The hotel is older but well kept. Rooms are comfortable, and have a very long shared walk out balcony, with a magnificent view of the ocean. There’s a main floor restaurant which serves a variety of dishes and a variety of drinks from the bar. There’s a patio just outside the restaurant which provides a view of the ocean. There’s a decent help yourself continental breakfast. The area is lush with jungle like plants and trees and other restaurants nearby. The dollar value was very good for the area and the accommodations. The drive was under half an hour from the city and was enjoyable along the winding paved road.

I loved the location of this hotel. Gorgeous views from the balcony. The bathrooms are shared, but very clean. We ordered pizza from the bar, it was excellent, but pricey. We stayed in room no. 1. The wifi connection there was extremely poor. Cannot comment for other rooms. Also, for breakfast they only have cereal and toast.
