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
If you want a quiet, serene and comfortable place to stay Denise's place is for you. It is rural but close to everything you want in and around Christchurch. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and reccomend it to fellow travellers.

Sumner Esplanade Seaside Escape
great little flat for my mother to stay in. Easy flat access. Heat pump and oil heater kept her warm. With the esplanade and cafes just over the road there is plenty to do. Supermarket just around the corner for provisions. Loved it

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 unresolved questions can arise during the stay. The apartment is wonderfully located, overlooking the water on the top of three floors. You can shop on foot or take the bus to downtown. The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful. It's important to them to give guests a great stay, and you can tell. Highly recommend!

Under the Yellow Canopy, Mt Pleasant, Christchurch
We loved our stay here! It’s a beautiful interior - very clean and comfortable- and a wonderful view out. Washed some clothes here and appreciated the drying rack provided. We appreciated Ken’s recommendations for Christchurch and the surrounding area. If this spot is available for your trip, book it!

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.

Beach Front Apartment
Annie and Chris are amazing hosts! Annie went out of her way to make us all feel at home and even to show us around the area. She is friendly, kind, and caring and on top of all of that, loads of fun! The place was amazing as well, clean, peaceful, and just a short walk from an amazing beach and great restaurants. This is the ideal AIR BNB!

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!

Seaglass Beach House
**Seaglass Beach House – An Unforgettable Stay** Seaglass Beach House is one of those rare places that not only meets expectations but completely surpasses them. Every detail in this home is carefully considered, from the high-end finishes to the little touches that make it feel truly special. But what really sets it apart is the location—you feel completely tucked away, surrounded by the ocean, with nothing but breathtaking views day and night. It’s private, peaceful, and absolutely stunning. Inside, luxury is everywhere. The gourmet kitchen is a dream, perfect for cooking while soaking in the view. The dual primary suites are like something out of a five-star resort, with massive multi-head showers that make it hard to ever leave. Whether you're here for a getaway with friends or an intimate retreat as a couple, this place is more than just a house—it’s an experience. A true destination in itself.

Breezy Beachside Haven - Brand New Retreat
Excellent communication from Lily. Accom spotless, comfortable bed and couch, quiet location, lovely decor and furnishings, felt warm and inviting.

Wake Up To The Sound Of The Ocean - New Townhouse
This was a cozy little place by the beach. It was exactly what we needed while visiting family. There are shops and restaurants within walking distance and enough free parking nearby.

Beachfront Bach - retro at the beach
My new favourite place to stay in Christchurch, beautiful home with lots of spots to sit and relax in the sunshine. Right across the road from the beach and a very cool cafe around the corner. Definitely recommend this home!

Cosy Beach Retreat
Very nice. Right near the beach. Roomy. Fast wifi. Great outdoor space too. Highly recommended

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.

Sunny beachside retreat, Hot Pools, Christchurch
We absolutely loved how warm and inviting everything was! The place was clean and had everything we needed. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!
