"Great shower and nice breakfast!"

Stunning House with Spa & Incredible Views

10/10 Excellent

"Our thoughts are as a couple get away, the view is perfect, water, mountains, lights, the harbour, to take it all in at night time, it is beautiful. The comfortable bed, shower, couches, seats, spa pool, is so comfortable. We enjoyed the walk down through the bush and back along the road, the area is great. Thank you so much."

"An amazing place, well worth the money. I spent 3 weeks here doing astro photography. The view, the garden and the surroundings are nice, with Sumner and Chch easily accessible. Hamish and Ronene are friendly and excellent hosts."

Hidden Paradise in ChCh -Pool, Spa & Harbour Views

10/10 Excellent

"The views for this property are absolutely stunning, and it’s nice to be on Cass Bay instead of the middle of the larger downtown of Christchurch. This house was extremely clean and modern and easily accommodated our family of five. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the communication with the host was excellent. They were very communicative and clear about everything. Would definitely recommend this for anyone traveling to this area!"
