Sumner Esplanade Seaside Escape

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Fantastic stay at Lana’s place. Great location right opposite the beach, but the icing on the cake was all the thoughtful touches and the attention to detail…..All those little things you need… she had thought of them all. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. We will definitely be recommending this cute wee place to all our friends.

Brand new 2 bed ocean view!

PipRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We loved our stay, fantastic location and lovely clean home! Easy walking distance to the beach and hot pools. Whilst no allocated parking we didn’t struggle with finding a park nearby. Thank you, we’d love to stay again!

Instructions made the place easy to find and Michele met us on arrival. We were very pleased with the setup and cleanliness of the space. The beds were super comfy and that shower was 10/10!! The walk between Cass and Corsair Bays was beautiful and easy to access too!

Moncks bay retreat

DianneRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Judith's beautiful accommodation in Moncks Bay. An easy walk to Redcliffes to what became our favourite coffee shop The Lil Brew, was our morning routine. Also a pleasant walk to Sumner, but with Metro buses virtually stopping at the front entry, we had many more options for travel into the City, Airport or any stops along the way. With a Metro card, just $2 to anywhere, so no need to hire a car. We thoroughly enjoyed our fellow housemates company (and their local tips and suggestions) and sharing facilities was no problem at all. If you're an op shopper, the biggest opshop is nearby at Ferrymead. Our room was small but comfortable, providing everything we needed. Cleaning of common areas was provided twice a week by the lovely, efficient Amelia. Overall, a wonderful location in a quiet, peaceful location, close to restaurants, coffee shops and the beach. We would definitely stay again.

Cass Bay House

ScottRating, 5 stars2 months ago
There were three of us staying for three nights. Wish we would have stayed longer. This is a fabulous house, full stop. If it's available for the days that work for your travel schedule, do yourself a favor and book it. The views are great from the decks, and it's such a peaceful place. It's an easy drive into Christchurch and convenient for exploring nearby areas like Sumner and Akaroa. The house was new, large, tastefully decorated, and super clean. Communications with Viv were excellent and replies were prompt. Check-in and check-out were super easy too. This house is a 10/10.

Two storey estuary house, mins walk to beach.

MatRating, 5 stars2 months ago
I had a long stay here and thoroughly recommend both the accommodation and the hosts. Colleen and Shelley are lovely hosts, very easy to communicate with and respond very quickly to any questions. They made the stay a pleasure. The place is seconds away from the beach and the estuary, with lovely walks to enjoy. It is a tranquil place to come and relax.

An amazing spot to spend some perfect days in Christchurch / South New Bristol. The beach is directly vis-à-vis which makes it special. The outdoor bathtub is a nice Extra Feature!

Hidden Paradise in Christchurch

NatalieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This stunning home was beyond incredible! Each level offered plenty of space and privacy, making it perfect for three families. The convenience of having a bathroom on every floor was a huge plus. We especially loved relaxing on the deck in the afternoon sun — the view was a real highlight. The kitchen was well equipped, and the house manual was super clear and helpful. A truly superb stay!
