Orari Bed & Breakfast

Orari Bed & Breakfast,close to the centre of Christchurch, is a luxurious heritage house of distinction constructed from native Kauri. It was built in 1893 by renowned architect builders and remained a family home until extensive refurbishments in 1999 created today's high quality bed and breakfast.
I was captivated by the beautifully maintained cottage garden on opening the wrought iron gate. Jan was there to greet me and make a personalised introduction to this tastefully furnished two-story accommodation full of antiques and superb art collection. There are a total of 10 luxurious suites with modern conveniences.
Historic photographs in the grand entranceway are a pictorial journey back in time, seated in the expansive dining room or private guest lounge one still gets a sense of grandeur. Yet this is a place to relax over a delicious breakfast, or to catch up with fellow guests over a complimentary glass of wine at the end of the day.
Whether visiting Christchurch City or travelling further afield to Kaikoura, Akaroa or taking the famed TranzAlpine day trip to the West Coast, Orari is a place of convenient comfort.
Adjacent to the B&B are 5 modern, self-contained 3-bedroom apartments available for 3 night minimum stay.
