“I have stayed here for a few months starting from mid of 2020 through to the first few months of 2021. This place is simply stunning and beautiful! Located in the central of Christchurch city, it’s very convenient to travel around the city, being very close to main shopping malls, cafes, restaurants, Christchurch Botanical Gardens, Museum. Just across the road is Art Gallery. This place is a perfect spot and very neat and clean. The friendly and approachable staffs here also add icing to the cake. In fact I have made good friends with some of them and they have always gone over and above to help me always. Even though I was alone, they really made me feel homely here. The nice environment at Orari Apartments never made me feel bored or lonely. Really, this place is simply amazing. I have stayed at various places around New Zealand over the years but I never received this high stand of hospitality in my life anywhere. The breakfast here is lovely too. If you are travelling to Christchurch and looking for a good place /accommodation with pleasant staffs and also economical ( In regards to money matters) – this is definitely the right and appropriate place to stay! Highly recommended & definitely a 10/10 from my side! :)”

“An eclectic, fun, clean, self-contained vacation stay ideally centrally located. Highly recommended. I visited Kim and Brian’s large “Shed” in the 23/24 summer. The many doors and windows gave great ventilation that made my nights very restful. The weather was fantastic - I never used heat or AC, but they were ready if needed. Plus a private courtyard with sitting area gave an even more spacious feel. Host Kim had stocked everything I could possibly need. I bought a few groceries at nearby PAK’nSAVE and was ready for many adventures on some of the world’s best cycle paths - 1 block away, where several beckoning beaches also happen to be. Sunsets, sunrises, and ships coming and going soothed me, along with the waves that can be heard from the very comfortable bed. I didn’t bother renting a car - I could walk and bike everywhere from the central Ahuriri location. The cooking facilities and clothes washer in the Shed also kept my costs down and made life easier. Kim has decorated and furnished the Shed with interesting stuff that she found, created or enhanced herself, including her own large format paintings that amazed me. I felt like I was in a place like no other, and was immediately comfortable. Plus Kim was sensitive to my unique desire for privacy and alone time. Even with the doors and windows wide open I was almost invisible to the world, coming and going at all hours as I please. The few neighbors I met on my.bike adventures were kind, compassionate, and not overly curious. The icing on the cake - this is an historic property. It is even mentioned in the heritage walk brochure available at the nearby I-site visitor center. How cool is that?! I hope to cone back often. I had a relaxing, inspiring, easy stay. Thank you Kim and Brian!”
