Our Sumner seaside boutique bed and breakfast guesthouse, is a modern upmarket, 3 storey 3000 sq ft  property on the sea frontage, with the spacious boutique serviced B&B apartment on the ground level being dedicated to guests.

We are situated within a sheltered cove (which has its own microclimate) Within this cove is Scarborough Park which is complete with its own clock tower, a cafe, childrens playground, childs swimming pool, and BBQ area.
This safe and unspoilt beach holiday destination is here for you to discover and enjoy.
Come and share with us, our little slice of heaven. Make C.views your Sumner beach retreat. From here it is only a 15 minute (part coastal) drive back from CH.CH.'s top beach location, to the centre of Christchurch itself. 

Sumner beach is great for water sports, swimming, surfing etc. A beach front walk to the Sumner village and shops will take you approximately 10 mins, with plenty of choice of restaurants, cafe bars, coffee shops (one of our coffee shops provide internet facilities) wine bar, plus a supermarket, cinema, post shop, pharmacy, and several hair salons etc. We are spoilt with lovely hillside walking tracks, with great sea and mountain views of the Southern Alps, South Pacific Ocean, and Christchurch City.

The bus stop, is just a few steps around the corner.

Travelling time to Christchurch from C.views, is approximately a 15 to 20 minutes drive, while Lyttelton, Canterbury's port, is a 10 min picturesque coast drive over and around the hill behind us, driving through Evans Pass / Sumner road.

Guests are pleasantly surprised with the style of accommodation that we offer. It is spacious, affordable and could be said to be a blend of hotel, motel, and bed and breakfast accommodation all in one. 
You have your own entrance gate and pathway, which leads through a private courtyard to the front door of your Sumner B&B apartment.

A private line and cordless phone in the apartment allows you free calls within the Christchurch area. Talk as long as you wish! Use a phone card (We recommend the Kia Ora card) to make economical toll calls.

We have one bed and breakfast accommodation apartment. Note the pictures above for bedding arrangements, one queen bed plus a single bed in the master bedroom and a queen bed in 2nd (spare) room. Max of 5 persons. Please note, we do not add extra beds. We close off the second bedroom, when it is not required.

The master bedroom also has an opening door to this same courtyard.

The ensuite is all and more than one would expect, bright lighting, generous in size, and has a tiled floor. This room is furnished with a shower, toilet, and  good sized vanity unit with an extra large mirror above (ladies will love this) The water system is mains pressure and temperate valve.

I, Rob, am retired, and have been in the accommodation industry for approximately 15 years now. I have in the past been an allied member of  the Motel Association NZ  (MANZ) which has given me close insight to the motel accommodation and related business.
This experience has led to the development of C.views, which although close to hotel or motel concept, is rather unique in being a spacious serviced bed & breakfast apartment.

My hobbies include music, and Bulova Accutron watch collecting. Whilst Julie, my wife, still operates on a part time basis, an antique jewellery business in which I assist as, and when I'm able. Julie immigrated from East Finchley, London, UK. some years ago and is now a naturalised Kiwi.

Most days, Julie and I stroll along the waterfront from Scarborough Park through to Cave Rock. We take in the village atmosphere, and visit the local coffee shop.

My favourite walk would be  "The Flowers Track walk"  It's only a five minutes walk along the sea front from our home, and you arrive at the start of this popular walk. This hill climb takes you to sea views that are even more spectacular (Great for those who like to keep fit !)

We both enjoy going for a drive in our classic sports car, and love to meet folk with this interest.
