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.

An amazing, beautiful beachfront home, and the hosts are SO accommodating! We were very fortunate to book a place this nice!
Emily, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Birthday weekend
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.

John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
