Stoked on Sumner Seaside Retreat
Summary:
To streamline your online check-in, we require a quick ID verification before your access codes are released. This ensures we’re sending entry details to the right person and helps keep our community safe. Thank you!
Extra services are available for purchase through your personal guest boarding pass once your booking is confirmed. For example: early check-ins, high chairs and more.
The Space:
Tucked away just two blocks from the beach, this sunny and secure two-bedroom home offers the ultimate Sumner escape. Light-filled and low-maintenance, it’s the perfect base for beach lovers, walkers, and anyone looking to soak up the laid-back coastal vibe.
The open-plan living and dining area is bright and inviting, flowing into a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need for easy meals at home. Two comfortable double bedrooms are complemented by a sleek, modern bathroom. A heat pump keeps things cosy year-round, while a private, fully fenced courtyard is ideal for morning coffees, evening wines, or a relaxed BBQ after a day at the beach.
Guest Access:
This property has a private entrance with and electric lock and a guest specific code for your security.
The Neighborhood:
Just a 5-minute stroll will have you on the sand, grabbing a coffee from Bohemian Bakery, or catching a film at Sumner’s boutique cinema. Explore scenic trails in the nearby Port Hills, or head over to Lyttelton or central Christchurch – both an easy drive away.
Whether you're here to surf, unwind, or explore, this charming home offers relaxed coastal living with everything right on your doorstep.
Getting Around:
This property is a short walk to the bus route. Taxi's, Ubers and hire scooters are all easily accessible from this location.
Other Things to Note:
For stays of two weeks or longer, we’re happy to provide a complimentary mid-stay clean to keep everything fresh for you! If you’d also like a fresh linen change for a small fee, just let us know and we’ll get that scheduled at the same time.

An ideal home base for our family needs, for three of us and a morning tea on Sunday with close family. Well set up kitchen and enough seating for 10. Best beds to sleep on after busy days. Close to beach and shops in lovely Sumner. Ideal location. Recommend this lovely,stylish place to stay.
