Originally built in 1893 by the England brothers, renowned architects of the period, the Orari is a fabulous heritage building. It has been restored and refurbished to offer comfortable bed and breakfast accommodation.
Located close to a number of attractions and within the cultural precinct of Christchurch, and with just ten stylish rooms (eight en suite and two with private bathrooms) you are ensured a relaxing stay.
OUR OPINION:
Orari offers heritage bed and breakfast accommodation in what we find to be an excellent location, as you can park your car and walk to the main attractions of Christchurch.
