Malcom and Larry were so warm and welcoming, and happily allowed us to check in as soon as we arrived from our early flight. Their house is in a stunning location, looking down on to a gorgeous beach. You can walk to the beach in a few minutes, and onto paths up around the headland where there are lots of trails and routes. The room itself is delightful, with views down to the beach. You can lie in bed listening to the waves and hear the distant babble of people from the beach without it being intrusive. We just booked for one night at the beginning of our trip around New Zealand but really wish we'd stayed longer. There are cooking facilities but it's quite a small space so great for drinks and breakfast but if you were staying a while and wanted to self cater the whole time it might not be ideal for you. Sumner is just a few minutes drive and has shops and lots of places to eat. Taylor's Mistake is a gem of a place and one of the best Air BnB's we've stayed at.
