A late lunch at the bright and beautiful restaurant inside our boutique hotel. Their homemade bread was fantastic and the butter tasted divine.

The George Boutique Hotel













New Zealand Journey


Okay, it's enough on the anniversary posts and now let's enjoy my photos of my trip to Christchurch in July, this year. We stayed in this fabulous little boutique hotel near the CBD area. Luckily it was safe from the earthquake last year. Service here was outstanding. Staffs were friendly and willing to help. Great room deco, I especially like the automatic warm up bathroom tiles. Apart from the excellent service, they also have two award winning restaurants inside the hotel and we were lucky enough to try them both. I love it and will return to revisit for sure.
