Beautiful views and unique old style. We loved the pool and grounds staff friendly and helpful. We didn't like the strong food smells in the room. A scented candle or an essential oil diffuser would have been lovely. There was a lovely large candle in the fire place but no matches.

A great pub with beautiful views of Lyttleton Habour and Quail Island. It was lovely dining on the deck with delicious food and friendly staff. The evening meal was also good with a cheerful Friday night crowd.

For the price I paid I thought the room could have been a lot better. I didn't like there was mo private bathroom in the room. Having a communial shower in the hallway to me isn't very hygienic as u don't no what hidden bugs people have got. Aside from that the atmosphere was nice and I enjoyed the pool.

The staff were very welcoming and friendly. I loved the room-the high ceiling and shutters on the door to the balcony. The white made it fresh looking and bright. The whole place was so dog friendly even into the restaurant area. The views were awesome and I couldn’t have been more happy with my stay. The provided breakfast was delicious-homemade muesli, crusty bread to toast and slather with butter and marmalade! Plunger coffee to finish off with. Highly recommend this great place!

Quaint Historic Hotel with a View
Quaint, 7 room oldtime hotel. Owners were great. Be sure to get a bayview or you'll be disappointed. Restaurant/bar was great, addedto the feel. The seafood chowder was awesome, a real meal! Biggest issue is shared baths. For us, not. There are two 1/2 baths for everyone. And robes supplied.

An idyllic hide-away
Governors Bay hotel is a gem - tucked away next to the Lyttleton inlet, with fabulous views of the inlet and mountains from the balconies, yet only 20 mins away from Christchurch. (This journey can either be through the Lyttleton Tunnel under the mountains, or the BEST way - over the mountain pass with its breath-taking view of the Southern Alps and Canterbury Plains!) Friendly, helpful staff and relaxed quiet atmosphere. (Just be warned.... there are stairs up to these first floor rooms - no lift as it is a traditional inn, and the mattresses are rather soft.

Dated and a little sad
Tv hardly worked took ages for wifi and the rooms were pretty small and dated. There was little point letting the owners know about the tv because no interest was shown.

Governors Bay
The staff were very friendly and helpful.the room was small but good. Bed comfortable, tv had basic channels but worked ok. Bathrobes were provided as shower was down the corridor, this was clean and water was hot. In the shower there was plenty of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. We did not use the washing machine but the area was clean and tidy. We ate in the bar, the food was good. The view over the bay is good and there is plenty of room to sit in th garden and enjoy a drink.

Christchurch is short of rooms and you may need a place. This is not the Marriot, let me tell you. But the guy who runs it and his staff are very nice and that matters. For me it was more like camping in luxury than a normal hotel stay. No AC and sharing bathrooms. No coffee in the room. On the plus side they had free laundry which was not busy. The guy asked a couple to turn off annoying music from a phone an inconsiderate lady was playing on the shared balcony. Before he did I could hear it all over and was stressing about it.

Hi there, Thanks for coming. Yes, we are are not a Marriot or a Hilton that is true but I'd like to think we make up for it with good old-fashioned hospitality, a great view and 150 years of a rich history. Happy travels and kind regards,

Excellent stay with great hosts
Excellent stay. We booked one of the Bayside rooms and it was stunning. I was a bit hesitant about the shared facilities, but it was no problem at all - even benefit sometimes as both me and my husband could shower at the same time. Highly recommend!

Great old Hotel, Magic views,
Attended a function at the hotel, the meal was nice but there was quite a wait between courses, restaurant bathrooms could do with a good clean and so could the undersides of the verandas. Bar service was great, staff very friendly and efficient. The room was very basis and parts of it looked like it had been prepared for painting, the bed felt poor quality and was uncomfortable, insufficient window covers meant the lights on the veranda shown into the room all night. The upstairs shared bathrooms were great, clean and tidy, plenty of towels and complimentary shampoo etc. Over all, it didnt quite meet our expectations and we thought it was over priced for the quality, however there is little choice of accommodation in the area so if you want to enjoy a night out then it is a safer option than risk driving.
