It's helpful to use the correct titles when writing to the Governor-General or her spouse.

The Governor-General's full title is:

Her Excellency The Right Honourable Dame Cindy Kiro, GNZM, QSO
Governor-General of New Zealand

The title of the Governor-General's spouse is:

His Excellency Dr Richard Davies


If you are writing to the Governor-General, address the letter to:

Her Excellency The Right Honourable Dame Cindy Kiro
Governor-General of New Zealand
Government House

You can write to His Excellency at the same address. In either case, start your letter with: Your Excellency.
