Orari Bed & Breakfast — Hotel in Christchurch

Everything about my communication with this hotel was great.Emails were answered promptly! Phone calls were answered with a cheery hello. Even though they have a check in between 2:00 and 6:30, they are flexible about outside hours by arrangement whenever possible. Having contacted them that we would be arriving early, the conversation was so welcoming, no problem, of course we can help with this, etc. I apologize for not remembering the name of the receptionist, she was great! She marked up a local map for us with places to go, and places to eat. She invited us to join in their 5-6 wine hour in a lovely sitting room. Little things like an earlier check in or being able to drop luggage off, leaving your car in their parking lot, all contribute to making the most use of a one night's stay.We were able to take advantage of many of the site that Christchurch has to offer. Since, we are leaving before the breakfast hour, yogurt, fruit, cereal, and gluten free bed was arranged for us. THis is a lovely...

We were recommended this quaint little B&B by a KIWI who was point on with her description. LOCATION to City Central, restaurants( Delilah’s, Irish Pub, Thirsty Peacock)Galleries(CC Art Gallery- right across the street along with Canterbury Museum(pop up- small but nice) and Quake City ALL within walking distance! SHOPPING is amazing with Shops and a great department store on Main Street! The Orari itself is comfortable and quite cozy! We were in Rm#1 on the ground floor which was surprisingly quiet as far as city noise. SHOWER PRESSURE is phenomenal! Small room but dining area( breakfast) and living room along with outside seating amongst the beautiful garden area was very elegant but welcoming. Speaking of- a shout out of GRATITUDE to “Vale”( a Host) for her warmth and hospitality! The team @Orari does a great job with breakfast service and facility cleanliness! It is a GEM in the city- just as...

We spent two days at Orari Bed and Breakfast. Location is excellent and the rooms were decent size. We were welcomed by a lovely lady who held our bags for us until checkin. We had two rooms, one which was nice and bright and had a double and single bed. The other which was quite dark and the curtain wouldn't open properly. Which left the room very dark. The bathrooms were not connecting which we knew when we booked however they did have underfloor heating which was a nice touch. The breakfast was a little basic for the price, and they also had no water facilities after-hours as the office closed from 6pm and there was no way to access the kitchen. The communal fridge was empty. Unfortunately I found that it was very noisy from other guests in the room and unfortunately able to hear everything due to the age of the home. The Villa is...
