We had a great time in Sumner staying at Tamsin's beach sleep out!
The sleep out had all we needed, with a big and cozy bed, good for a Sunday sleep in and an ensuite with a shower. It was one or so minute walk to the beach and esplanade and a few more into Sumner Village.
Tamsin was a fantastic host, greeting us when we arrived and giving us some local tips for places to eat in Sumner (Sumner Indian) and local farmers markets to check out (Lyttleton Markets on Saturday).
The weather was great so we borrowed some bikes and rode up and down the Christchurch Coastal Pathway for a few k's. Easy flat riding but a bit tougher against the wind on the way back for us unfit types.
We would definitely stay again at Tamsins place!
