Our stay with Megan and Tim was excellent. Sumner is a upscale and trendy beach neighbourhood and a good base for a Christchurch visit; close to drive or can use public transit immediately nearby. And Sumner is full of interesting and unique shops and restaurants/pubs/bars. Megan and Tim’s beach house is a gem; we had 3 nights but could have stayed a month. Kitchen is fully fitted out for full meal prep and the hosts graciously include access to the back garden and patio with outdoor tub/shower and bbq. Comms with M&T are great. Highly recommended!
