Book a Takamatua Cottage

La Rochelle was excellent value for money. The room we were in was tidy and clean, and had a basic kitchenette. It was an easy walk to restaurants and shops. I definitely recommend staying here.

Great location and beautiful setting

The property is so well done with all the facilities you can think of crammed into a well designed silo space. Loved all the little industrial touches like light switches, kitchen drawers, taps etc. The sky light is great, could see a few stars when the clouds cleared with lights off. Try with the lights on too for a good view of the bed:)

Always a lovely place to stay and always clean and ell presented with friendly and helpful owners

Loved the room we had which had great views over the water. Room was cosy and clean. Great to have the pub next door for meals. Would definitely stay here again.

The rooms were spotless and the view from the veranda room was excellent. The location was also excellent as it was close to the beach and a number of restaurants in Sumner. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful.

Communication was great, they texted me which room to go to as we arrived after hours. We were greeted to a nice warm room as it was freezing outside!

Very happy at the hotel even though it was a little dated. Staff good and ideal for our short stay.

We stayed at Governors Bay so that we could be close to Christchurch, but not "in" Christchurch. Views from the hotel of the harbour were beautiful, Room was nice. Very quiet, minimal traffic. Would stay again, but next time we will choose a balcony room. Also, all rooms share toilet and shower Facilities
