The house in Governors Bay is just perfect. Wendy and Hampshire super helpful, offering a beautiful house that’s a home from home, lots of thoughtful extras (they really have thought of everything) which made us feel very welcome. We ate out a lot as well as cooked in the house and outside.
Lots of amazing walks from your door! ... down the road to the sea shore and small pretty beaches, to tougher hilly The Crater Rim walks in native NZ bush. A must is the sculpture park and gardens at Ohinetahi a short walk away. Evening meal or lunch at the Governors Bay Hotel and coffee/cake at the local cafe, which are just around the corner.
Saturday Artisan Market in Lyttleton and an array of quirky cafes and lovely shops. We hired bikes and rode to Diamond Harbour and took the Ferry to Lyttleton and then short cycle back to the house.
We would love to return xx
