Excellent location, very comfortable and I would recommend this property.
We had a wonderful time. The place was very comfortable and the hosts were welcoming and helpful. Sumner Beach is a perfect little beach town, just like you'd hope it to be.
2nd time staying there and did not disappoint, clean and very friendly professional service, such a beautiful spot for the beach front and so close to all necessities
I liked this property and it offered everything needed for a short comfortable stay. The only criticism was the shower. It was impossible not to make a mess as there was no shower curtain and the whole floor, toilet etc got wet. This is easily fixed by installing a ceiling mounted track to hang a shower curtain on. Otherwise the hosts were very hospitable and their dog Bruce was a real bonus. Loved him.
Comfortable place to stay in great location - near variety of cafes and restaurants and across the road from the beach. Only downside was that the only access to the room was through the owner's front door - no private access.
A lovely night away to celebrate my birthday! Have stayed here before and can’t beat it for location. Walking distance to all the eateries, shops and beach.
The property is high quality, the hosts are very friendly and provide excellent service and the views of the sunrise and sunset from the sitting room are magnificent. Highly recommend staying here if you come to Sumner.
I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. Gail was a fantastic host & the suite was so much more than I expected. The price is unbeatable for the area. I will definitely stay again!
