About Us

More Than
A Motel

Sumner Bay Motel is run by locals Tony and Sophie, who believe a relaxing stay by the beach should feel easy and effortless. From morning chats with guests to making sure every stay is comfortable, their focus is on the little things that make a big difference.

Our Sumner apartments are not just a place to sleep — we’re your base for exploring, relaxing, and soaking up the Sumner lifestyle. With modern rooms, a welcoming atmosphere, and the beach right outside, you’ll feel like you’re part of the village from the moment you arrive.
