About this property

Seaside Beach Apartment

Fully self contained flat ideal for a couple. Southshore beach offers an amazing playground for surfers, boarders, watch the kite surfers, beach lovers, take a swim in the sea, walking, bird watching, or simply enjoying the quiet and wild location. Bus stop to the city is directly opposite of the driveway. The local village a 10 minute drive from the property. A swimming pool and BBQ area is shared with the main house and located in front of the flat. This property is fantastic for tourists wanting to experience a lovely Christchurch beach suburb close to the central city but a quiet and peaceful retreat. Prefect for locals or out of town friends wanting a clean, tidy and modern unit for their Christchurch stay.

Extras: Cleaning ; Linen (included);

We stayed two months
We occupied spotless, well equipped above ground basement 1 bedroom suite for 2 months in summertime weather. Would need larger heater in winter months. Basic TV and weak WiFi. Host was helpful and easy to work with and any issues were dealt with promptly. Pool and area was spotless but water is unheated so cold. Garden needs weeding but otherwise interiors are exactly as advertised and shown. Kitchen is very well equipped. Beach is to die for. Parking is easy. Neighbourhood is very safe. Good value. We hope to return in coming years.

While the Beach Flat is not “super fancy,” it was VERY clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfy and we liked the full size kitchen. And, you cannot beat being able to walk right out to the beach. Loved being able to “host” Robert’s dog, Jazz, for brief periods - she is “an oldie but a goodie.” ??

Property was quite tired and needs some tender loving care.
Property was quite tired and needs some tender loving care. Cupboards cluttered, carpets worn, windows needed cleaning and privacy is very lacking due to lack of window coverings/ blinds etc in kitchen and bathroom. Despite the mention of a washing machine on property listing, this is actually in the owners home and not in the property you are renting. That said there is a note that you could use their machine, we were not comfortable with that set up so used a launderette in the local town.

We wanted a quiet end to our tour and walks on the beach and the secluded nature of this location was ideal. Appreciated the full kitchen options and BBQ. Robert might want to check pepper and some past date seasoning option left by others as they are nice but past dates on a few. Loved Jazz the dog stopping by to say hi. Seems right at home with guests.

Nice beach location with easy access, although wear long pants walking thru the brush to get to the beach. The bath and bedroom were clean and the bed very comfortable. The kitchen had most everything we needed. Property needs some cleaning (drapes and kitchen) and is showing its wear. Lacks privacy with windows facing pathway and stairs for property owner and family and can hear them moving about since property is directly below (as described in listing). Did enjoy regular visits from Jazz.
