Best view and best value cozy hut
Even though the hut was so cozy, it still had its own kitchen and bathroom and a comfy bed which was everthing that we needed. Lovely view, nice quiet and secluded area. Would definitely book again with my partner.

Super-cute tiny house in great location!
Well-equipped, very comfortable tiny house - it is tiny but perfect for one (would probably be a squeeze for two, though). Lovely setting in an organic garden, with sea views, and well-located between Sumner and Taylors Mistake beaches. Lovely hosts too. Highly recommended!

Charming Getaway
Amazing views from the cozy sleeping loft in this small, cleverly designed cabin set in a lovely garden. Next door access to the trails leading to Taylor’s Mistake and easy driving access to other beaches, towns, restaurants, and hikes. The hosts were welcoming and helpful, too. All in all, a great choice if you love tiny houses.

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Christchurch. The nearby Taylor's mistake beach and the Godley beach park were beautiful. The communication with the owner was excellent and the tiny house was exactly what we expected and needed. It is a steep walk from the bus stop but the views alone a worth the effort.

Quiet place to relax
This was one of my last stops on an 80-day, around-the-world trip. Nice and quiet place to relax after a lot of long travel. Walking to get groceries is a bit of an ordeal, but still doable and you get some gorgeous scenery. No microwave, but the stove top made soups and breakfasts much easier than most hotel microwaves. Do need a bit of agility to get into the loft, but the skylight has quite the view and is very good for stargazing if the weather is good. The Taylor’s Mistake trail is right around the corner.

Pleasant walks
I enjoyed walking on the cliff paths and soaking up the sound of sea waves washing over the rocks, as the birds sang and squawked above. Very quiet in the Tiny House, and so ideal for reading and thinking, or keeping an eye on ship movements.

The most amazing hosts and beautiful property
Hamish and Ronene were the most lovely hosts and truly made my experience beyond special. Not only was their hospitality exceptional, their tiny home was designed with the utmost care and perfectly overlooks the ocean. I was impressed with how spacious the tiny home was and I thoroughly enjoyed the warm and cosy interior, such a magical space! The tiny home property is right in the middle of some of the most stunning trails that lead to Taylors Mistake Beach as well as Scarborough beach. My long stay there surpassed any of my expectations because of the special care that Hamish and Ronene constantly showed alongside the welcoming home environment that they so effortlessly cultivated. If you ever want to truly experience a peaceful nature environment with some of the most genuine humans then this is the place to be, thank you so much Hamish and Ronene for being the absolute best!

I had the pleasure of staying in this tiny house, nestled in the Christchurch hills and overlooking the ocean. I had chosen this property because of its tranquil nature but what I experienced outweighed any of the photos or the description. This is a truly special find, one that I will remember for a long time to come. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this tiny house in Sumner. The location was perfect for us with a beautiful beach nearby and small shopping area. Lyttelton is not far away and worth a visit and it’s an easy drive to Christchurch. Our host was welcoming and friendly, we had all we needed.

Awesome little hut
Hamish’s little hut was ideal accomodation for our visit to Christchurch. With a very comfortable bed up in the loft, it was cosy to snuggle into each night after a fun day out. We had access to multiple walks in the area each morning just by walking out the front gate and then returned to have breakfast on the deck in the peaceful back garden. Hamish gave precise advice prior to our visit regarding access, parking etc. We would certainly stay again if in the area.

Charming tiny home in a back garden
We enjoyed our stay in this cleverly designed tiny home, and loved hanging out in the backyard listening to the birds and soaking in the quiet nature after our long flights. It's tricky getting up into and out of the loft, so this property is best suited to nimble travelers. This was the only place we stayed that didn't supply coffee, which would be a nice touch. Also, I recommend swapping out the shower head to a hand held style, since it is so tiny and tricky to aim the shower without flooding the bathroom.
