We went for a 40th birthday celebration on a Sunday lunchtime in a large group ranging in age from babies to a nonogenarian and everyone had a great time. Food was simple but well prepared and staff were friendly and resilient to meet our varied needs. Exeeded everyone's expectations and can't wait to return.

My wife and I spent two very pleasant nights at The Governors Bay hotel.
The room we stayed in had a great view of the harbour and bushlands, and I loved eating my breakfast on the upstairs verandah taking it all in.
Our 1st night there we had a charming meal in the front bar. The fish and chips with...

Dear Mr. Bouncypants, (great name by the way) you are thoroughly welcome to come back from San Fran anytime. So glad you and your wife enjoyed your honeymoon and Clare's Pavlova. Note to other guests, however, it's not a permanent feature on our menu, but maybe it should be,
Kind regards,

On both occasions we had good weather and were able to sit in the garden and enjoy the views across the bay to the Banks Peninsular. The drive out to Governors Bay is delightful - about 25 minutes from the centre of Christchurch whether you take the...
