We had an amazing week at Marnie's place- it was absolutely gorgeous, peaceful and very relaxing! After two months of travelling NZ, this was definitely our favourite spot. The flat has everything you need and more and is furnished beautifully. Marnie is a great host and we enjoyed getting to know her during our stay. Sumner is a great little community with fantastic walks on the doorstep and lovely beach/ restaurants etc. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone thinking if staying in the Christchurch area.
