This place is a slice of paradise with fantastic views, and a tastefully curated space which has to be seen to be appreciated. We really didn’t want to leave! Nick’s communications were quick, friendly and helpful.

GeraldRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Great location and over 8 days the place felt like home with the outside deck area providing great flow from inside to the outside. The inside was clean and Ann provided very quick response to help get the WiFi running again after it stopped. Fun location to host friends and family. Would recommend and will stay again.

Guest suite in Christchurch
4.74 out of 5 average rating, 53 reviewsBeach Guest House with pool & private beach access
AndréRating, 5 stars12 months ago
overall a great stay. the flat was as expected, fully functional and good equipped. access to the beach was nice, especially to observe the early sunrise. it's outside of New Brighton, to shops and bars it would be a 6+km walk (a bit long). there is a bus stop in front of the house which brings you to New Brighton in 10-15 min and into the city (bus interchange) in 40-45 minutes. with a car you probably would be better off. but it was absolutely OK without. the host Robert is a very nice guy. we had some good chats.

Perfect location to the beach and to the town center! Lots of room, although some of the furniture needs to be replaced. We enjoyed our stay very much! Too bad when the development across the street finishes, it will block the view of the beach.

DavidRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We know Sumner well and Debbie’s accommodation was to be a new experience for us. It was superb. The accommodation is the whole house which is ideal for longer stays. The instructions were perfect and the house immaculate. The welcome ‘pack’ even included a bottle of Sumner sparkling wine. The house is 100m from the beach, 200m from the shops including a well stocked supermarket. There are coffee bars and restaurants on the doorstep. Debbie made early contact with us and we felt very welcome. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to Sumner.

GeoffRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Chris is a fantastic host, he responded to our questions promptly and supplied an iron which was in the original amenities at time of booking. He also personally explained why some facilities are present in the unit but were not in the listing or functional. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Chris' place.

Really thank Frank's hospitality and everthing. The view of the house is fabulous and is really near the christchurch.Frank just like our father sharing his thoughts and travelling experience with us. Behind the sececrt door there is wall full of all kinds of asia spice and herbs. You can use everything! Now we complete it with Chinise Soy Liquid and Cooking Wine( ⁼̴̀ .̫ ⁼̴́ )✧. We will definite come back this place and recommend to everybody we know. Frank是一个非常好客已经热心的房主,就如我们的父亲一样分享他的经验和旅行见闻.整个房子环境、住宿、景观一级棒,更不用说因为女主人是马来西亚人,在厨房中有无敌全的亚洲调味品还有电饭煲,并且这次旅行我将生抽和料酒留在那里进行了补全,去的中国客人可以做菜哦!绝对推荐,一定会再来的.
