Scenic Estuary Views & Birdwatching Oasis
Great place , enjoyed our stay

Redcliffs-Sumner Award Winning Contemporary Studio
Marion's studio was lovely - bright and warm and had everything we needed. Location was great and car parking even though on the street was extremely convenient. A great place to stay in Christchurch!

Allandale Bush Retreat
We had a wonderful time at Denise and Regs place and they made us very welcome. Wonderful spot, beautiful garden and great trail path which was such fun to explore. Accommodation was perfect and all we wanted and would have love to stay longer. Loved the local area so picturesque and beautiful

Sumner Esplanade Seaside Escape
Perfect spot for those wanting to be near the sea and great coffee shops and restaurants. Lana was a perfect host - we really appreciated the home comforts on arrival. The apartment was bigger than expected and was lovely and warm during a cold snap. Thanks for a great stay.

Brand new 2 bed ocean view!
We enjoyed the accommodation very much! The apartment is very nicely decorated, clean and tidy. Everything is well described and explained, so that no unanswered questions can arise during the stay. The apartment is wonderfully located, overlooking the water on the upper of three floors. You can walk to the shops or take the bus to downtown. The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful. It is important to them to provide guests with a great stay and that shows. Highly recommend!

Under the Yellow Canopy, Mt Pleasant, Christchurch
Comfy place in a great location with helpful hosts. Just what we were looking for

Redcliffs on Park by Sea
What a wonderful place to stay- and wonderful hosts too! Comfortable, cozy and had everything we needed. Great location as well - next to green spaces and near the ocean. Very easy to get into the city too. Can easily recommend to others.

Surf Break Apartment 3
Danielle was a responsive and friendly host. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed the beautiful surrounds of Sumner and delicious bakery and bar close by!

Magical Seaside Cottage
We were so fortunate to spend a couple of days here. Beautifully decorated cottage, incredible location. Was perfect for our needs and we were able to create some special memories. Thank you so much for everything Vivienne!

Seaglass Beach House
The house is gorgeous and we felt it was a privilege to stay there. The morning coffee watching the sunrise was a real treat. The attention to details and the extra starter supplies were a real special touch. The house was amazing and opening the Oceanside doors brought nature to us! We will stay again!!!

Breezy Beachside Haven - Brand New Retreat
We would recommend this place. We stayed here for one night as a group of four (if you're coming with four people, two of you will be sleeping on a sofa bed). The host reached out in advance to ask if we wanted the sofa bed prepared, which we confirmed. However, upon arrival, we had to set it up ourselves. We found the necessary bedding and blankets in the bedroom closet, but we weren’t entirely sure if they had been freshly changed, as they seemed slightly used. Despite that, our overall experience was positive and without major issues. The house is within walking distance of a beautiful beach and pier, which we really appreciated. Thank you for the stay!

Wake Up To The Sound Of The Ocean - New Townhouse
I booked this apartment for my partner while she was visiting Christchurch, and she truly enjoyed her stay. The apartment provided everything she needed for a comfortable and relaxing time away from home. Lily was incredibly responsive and always willing to help, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Her thoughtful communication and attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed, and we really appreciated how easy it was to reach out to her with any questions or requests. The apartment itself was very clean, cozy, and situated in a lovely neighborhood. It had a warm, homey feel that made my partner feel settled right away. The peaceful surroundings added to the charm, making it an ideal place to unwind after a day of exploring Christchurch. One of the highlights of her stay was a peaceful morning walk to the beach, where she watched the sunrise, a moment she described as truly magical. Thank you for hosting her so wonderfully!

Beachfront Bach - retro at the beach
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!

Cosy Beach Retreat
Second time staying with Denise at the lovely beach house and as before , we had a wonderful time. Especially loved the personal touch with a note to welcome us on arrival. Thank you!

Modern home near the beach
Incredible four nights in New Brighton. We have been coming for 8 years to a local surf competition and this time was the first staying here. Lovely new apartment, central, cozy and also private. Loved every part of it and Bee was a star with the communication and helpfulness. We will definitely be back ~

Beachside Bliss - Redcliffs
Stunning waterfront location - really enjoyed how close it was to Sumner and surrounding cafes. Clean and comfortable.
