The Loft – A Boutique Eco Stay Above Sumner
The Loft is a boutique eco stay nestled in the Port Hills above Sumner, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature while remaining close to the coast and village below. Thoughtfully designed for rest, privacy, and connection, it’s a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and settle into a gentler rhythm.
Set amongst native trees and established gardens, The Loft is alive with birdsong and natural light. From its elevated position, guests are treated to panoramic views across Christchurch, Pegasus Bay, and out toward the Southern Alps. The landscape shifts throughout the day — from soft morning light to golden sunsets and star-filled skies — creating a grounding sense of place that invites you to pause and take it all in.
A highlight of the stay is the wood-fired hot tub, tucked into the garden beneath the trees. Soaking in the warmth while surrounded by nature is a deeply restorative experience, whether enjoyed after a day exploring the Port Hills, following time at the beach, or simply as a moment of stillness. It’s an invitation to unplug and reconnect with the environment around you.
The Loft has been created with sustainable, low-tox living in mind. Natural materials, gentle finishes, and considered design choices support comfort and wellbeing, making it an ideal stay for those sensitive to their environment or seeking a more conscious way to travel. The space feels calm and intentional, without excess — allowing you to truly rest.
For guests wishing to deepen their stay, optional wellness offerings are available, including private yoga sessions or in-house treatments. These can be arranged to suit your needs and add an extra layer of relaxation and nourishment to your time here.
Despite its secluded feel, The Loft is just five minutes from Sumner Beach, local cafés, and village shops. Walking and hiking tracks are nearby, offering easy access to the Port Hills and surrounding coastline. It’s the perfect balance of quiet retreat and convenience.
The Loft is ideal for couples, solo travellers, or anyone seeking a peaceful escape — whether for a weekend reset, a special occasion, or time away to simply be. Calm, grounding, and thoughtfully designed, The Loft offers a stay that feels both restorative and connected.

The Loft - Hot Tub, Views & Nature Escape

Very special home and location. Stunning views from every level from high up on the hill. Kim was a very friendly host with great recommendations. Lovely garden area and outside seating. A great stay!

Hilltop paradise

The views from this place are second to none. The house itself is so unique and cozy and spotlessly clean. We felt very comfortable and at ease and loved decompressing here at the tail end of our NZ trip.

breathtaking views

"We loved our stay at Kim's house! He was so friendly and made some great recommendations for things to see and do. The views from this place, OMG, you need to book it to see for yourself. We got eggs from their chickens and enjoyed those for breakfast. We didn't want to leave!"
