This longstanding beacon in Sumner comes recommended by fellow travelers, so make a spot for it on your travel itinerary. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are plenty more places waiting for you to appreciate after Godley Head Lighthouse. Lyttelton Harbour, New Brighton Beach, and Sumner Beach are not far away.

8.8/10 Excellent! (291 reviews)
Great location on the tram line and within walking distance to river markets. Slight hiccup with check in, but after a phone call to after hours manager it was sorted promptly. Lovely unit.
