Cave Rock Guest House

On Sumner Beach in Christchurch — a beachfront guesthouse a hop from Cave Rock and the sand. Minutes from Taylor's Mistake, the Christchurch Gondola, Lyttelton Harbour and Ferrymead Heritage Park, this spot puts coastal walks and city sights within easy reach.

Individually furnished guestrooms and a garden studio line the property, with some units offering glorious sea views from a kitchenette/breakfast area. Options range from a three-room garden studio with kitchen and TV lounge to budget doubles with private bathrooms. Rooms include refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, microwaves, coffee/tea makers, hair dryers and, in some, separate sitting areas and desks. Daily housekeeping keeps things tidy.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and take in the views from a terrace and garden. On-site perks include complimentary Wi‑Fi, a picnic area, barbecue grills, bike storage, a library and laundry facilities. Free self parking makes coming and going easy.

Complimentary wireless internet (ideal for quick check-ins or remote work), plus luggage storage, laundry facilities and free self parking.

Some apartments feature a kitchen or kitchenette and a breakfast area with sea views. A local coffee shop and a cluster of restaurants and shops sit within a short walk, so authentic local flavors are never far away.
