The hosts were excellent - very welcoming and went the extra mile for our kids when they asked to pat the dog or for a hot chocolate at breakfast time. The five-o-clock wine time was a lovely chance to chat with other guests from around the world. Very convenient location. Only downside is that it's an older building so the noise from Christchurch's boy racers can be irritating at night. A minor problem. We would definitely stay again.

Comfortable B&B In Central Christchurch
We stayed 3 nights at Orari B&B in September. The room & whole place was very clean and well presented, the staff helpful, the breakfast great and the location was really good to be able to walk into the city. The place had a very nice feel. We appreciated that it was a B&B but were unaware when we booked that the bathroom, though private & for our use only was across the passage from our room. We found that 2, of the ten rooms had this arrangement. It worked out for us, but we would have appreciated knowing this setup when we booked. We would happily stay again and would probably choose a room upstairs.

Great stay at Orari bed and breakfast Christchurch
When we arrived we were met by a lovely host. She explained the details of our room etc along with some the history of this grand old villa. Our bedroom was comfortable and warm with a very roomy en-suite. Breakfast was included in the price with plenty to select from and service was great. The location is great and near to the city shopping. Would highly recommend this lovely bed and breakfast, I know that I will book it for my next stay in Christchurch

Lovely character
This is a lovely old villa given new life as a boutique lodge. It has 10 rooms, all a bit different in size and character. I stayed in room 2 with the bathroom across a short hall. A bit strange, but as they weren’t busy, not an issue. The room was quite a good size with a big window letting in the sun. It is a bit draughty with old doors and windows, but the heat pump was good and the bed had lovely thick coverings. Breakfast is included- continental style, but found the coffee quite watery and my toast was stone cold as the manager was distracted by ?? ( I was the only person in the dining room). The location was the main reason I chose Orari- perfect for walking to the museum, park and shops. Nice to have the free onsite parking as well. Christchurch is a maze to drive, so walking was ideal.

Attractive house inside and out, central yet quiet
Our room was spacious, but a surprise was that the stated 'private bathroom' (ours had shower only) was across the corridor (rooms two and three both seem to have this arrangement, each with own bathrooms in this way), but we soon came to accept it though you might glimpse another guest in their dressing gown as a result! You do get a key for it so should be locked, although toilet had been used before us, maybe by mistake by guest in neighbouring room? Not a problem and the room, which is lovely and beautifully furnished, is cheaper (I think) as a result. Cleanliness was great and the staff service was fantastic, plus a no-holds-barred breakfast. Excellent location in pretty garden near art gallery, good restaurants etc. Have already booked return stay in same room.
