My husband and I stayed at Governor's Bay for the final 4 days of our NZ holiday and it was just perfect for us. The cottage is in a beautiful location, nestled at the bottom of Rosie and Mark's garden and looks out at the water of the bay. Rosie and Mark are very thoughtful and considerate hosts. Such a welcome to find fresh flowers and a warm fire on our arrival and numerous other extras about the place. They were very easy to talk with and we really appreciated that they welcomed us into their lovely home for a drink, a chat and
shared some of their special books with us. Although it's a fair way from Christchurch city, it is a beautiful drive and is ideally placed for exploring the magnificent Banks Peninsula, Akaroa etc. Our time there was a delightful way to finish up our NZ holiday and I'd heartily recommend it to others looking for a lovely place to stay away from the hustle and bustle.
