2nd time staying there and did not disappoint, clean and very friendly professional service, such a beautiful spot for the beach front and so close to all necessities
Daisy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful time. The place was very comfortable and the hosts were welcoming and helpful. Sumner Beach is a perfect little beach town, just like you'd hope it to be.

Cave Rock Rocks

Great location opposite the beach. The room was very spacious, airy, clean and comfortable with a great shower. The kitchen facilities were ideal, too.We received a very warm welcome on our arrival and felt very relaxed in the accommodation and wished we had allowed time to stay an extra night. We can highly recommend Cave Rock Guest House.

Birthday weekend

A lovely night away to celebrate my birthday! Have stayed here before and can’t beat it for location. Walking distance to all the eateries, shops and beach.
Liza-Ann, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable place to stay in great location - near variety of cafes and restaurants and across the road from the beach. Only downside was that the only access to the room was through the owner's front door - no private access.
Donna, 2-night trip

Right on the beach by the Cave Rock

John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked this property and it offered everything needed for a short comfortable stay. The only criticism was the shower. It was impossible not to make a mess as there was no shower curtain and the whole floor, toilet etc got wet. This is easily fixed by installing a ceiling mounted track to hang a shower curtain on. Otherwise the hosts were very hospitable and their dog Bruce was a real bonus. Loved him.
Gary, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

とても快適です。キッチンで朝食を用意し，海の見える窓際に座って、のんびり過ごすと最高です。窓は二重ガラスなので、とても静か。清潔で快適な宿です。 目の前の砂浜では，ノーリードで犬が散歩しています。 朝の日の出も素晴らしいです。
Fuyuhiko, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I didn't realize just how far away this property was from the airport ($100 Uber ride). It's very clean and the host appreciates it if you let her know that you're showing up late (my train was massively delayed).
MImi, 1-night trip

A very comfortable stay very close to the beach and restaurant/ bars. Owners of the property made us feel very welcome. Would love to come back again.
