About the host
Hosted by Yvonne

Hi, I'm Yvonne, a Chinese but have been living in NZ since 2001. My husband, Jan, comes from Czech Republic. We have two daughters Ellie and Aya. We love traveling. Jan also likes surfing and painting. After traveling with kids for a year and half in Europe and Asia, we are now back in NZ and become a host. It's been an incredible start to hosting Airbnb/Booking.com guests with our 'Spacious 5BR 2BA 2LR plus sleepout Family Home'. Our 'Oceanview Luxury 3-Bedroom Family Retreat' will be another great guest accommodation.
Why they chose this property
We lived in this house for 4 years then moved to Mt Pleasant for the school, but we always love this place. Sumner is a charming seaside suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand, which is only 20 min away from the CBD and around 0.5 hr drive from the airport. It is famous for its beaches, natural beauty, and outdoor activities. It is also very family-friendly! If your idea of a good time is lounging on a beautiful beach in a NZ's city, surfing/learning to surf (checkout 'Learn to Surf' in Sumner)…it can’t be beat.
What makes this property unique
Our house has amazing views inside the home and out on the balcony of Sumner Beach. My hubby, who is a surfer, finds it very convenient being so close to surfing spots, The house has been recently renovated with modern finishes, making it a perfect place for relaxation and entertaining.
