At Rapanui, you will receive warm, personal but never intrusive service and hospitality.
Rapanui is a boutique, self-contained apartment situated hillside in Sumner, Christchurch's elite swimming and surfing beach location. The apartment is a magic hideaway; it is intimate, private, and beautifully appointed to a high standard, and you will find everything pristinely clean and fresh. As the only guests, you can truly unwind and be refreshed in the restful ambience of Rapanui. Just 5-10 minutes walk takes you to the beach and charming Sumner Village. The sunny north-facing pavilion of Rapanui has been added to an architectural award winning house, maintaining the modernist design of the original. The apartment has its own exclusive entrance; it is not accessible from the house and is very private. A raised terrace overlooks the lawn and garden, which features New Zealand trees and ferns, a rose garden, and terraced fruit and flower beds. Surrounding trees frame views of the ocean. **Guest testimonials: "Loved it. Very peacefull, well appointed, luxury accommodation." "Lovely energy here, very relaxing." "This was the most relaxing stay of our entire trip."

At Rapanui, only quality appliances, cookware, dinnerware, and furniture have been chosen to make your stay truly satisfying. You will find the bedroom with its fine crisp cotton linens luxurious and supremely comfortable. You will discover that Rapanui is a magic hideaway in a beautiful, quiet garden setting where your privacy and relaxation is assured.

Nearby attractions & activities

Just 20 mins from central Christchurch and only minutes to the swimming and surfing beach and the relaxed ambience of Sumner Village. Paragliding, walking and cycling tracks, and horseriding closeby in scenic Port Hills. Ideally located at the start of the scenic route to Banks Peninsula and historic Akaroa and for excursions further afield to other Canterbury attractions, including ski fields, and hot springs.
