BeachLife Apartments

Check in for this property was lengthy with payment facilities not working. Parking was very tight. The room was difficult to access and not advertised to be on level one. The main slider door was damaged and unable to be locked. The TV didn't work, and the room was very old with noticeable maintenance required. Bedding was sparce and the covers stained. Extra blankets were very old and pilled. It felt like ones was staying in a teenage boys room. The bathroom was old and towels thin. Roosters nearby obviously out of the properties control

Then veiw And stress frree laid back scenery

It’s very tired looking and needs a lot of repairs

Extremely small bathroom and chipped cupboards and no oven in the executive apartment. Very tired looking and needs a refresh for the amount to stay there.

the location, ground floor, excellent facilities, parking

Check in was easy and staff were very friendly.

Location

This room needs some TLC, the kitchen cupboards are falling apart & don’t close, another coach would be great, kitchen equipment was dirty & lack of. Was glad to leave after our stay.

good location and excellent communication from the property, heat pump worked well even if it was noisy, and beds had electric blankets

Badly maintained, broken fixtures not repaired properly, beds uncomfortable, tv remote not working

Spacious lovely two bedroom, open plan Host was very lovely and accommodating Got us a portacot for our baby but we didnt end up using it as baby slept in bed instead

Single bed in room was broken and sunk down in one end (was on blocks and the bed came off them that's how we found out about it) Neighbor who was staying next to us parked nearly outside of our garage and I nearly took the fence out trying to get my car out (no fault of the host)

at the time we were the only people staying there that night, room clean,beach across the road from apartments, A/C unit noisy.

strange being the only ones there but made to feel welcome

Awesome place, clean and quiet.

We have family close by to you. This is the only reason .

Little things need attention! Plug hole in basin, spare blanket has marks on it, kitchen chairs filthy, a small knife needed(the carving knife there was blunt and useless),heat pump makes a horrid noise, tv remote batteries move,ranch slider needs all grease/oil cleaned out of it, and cutlery 1 soup spoon and 1 desert spoon???

Great that it’s walking distance too the beach, decent size apartment, little terrace space was nice too, it has great potential just really needs serious maintenance and a good clean

Couldn’t lock doors, someone I was staying with had to get a screw driver and fix something just to be able to get one too atleast lock, door handles falling off, shower head falling off, taps lose, wooden floor needed vacuuming and mopping, things felt dingy and dirty, etc

Nice and close to the beach. Very quiet.

Sea view

The bed it’s not comfortable

It was a good trade money for value. The steward was very kind and helpful.

The TV was too small and the internet was very poor quality which is very frustrating for the kids watching Netflix

We had to move units as the sliding door wouldn’t lock, then our second room had no hot water for first night and was long trip. The heat pump wouldn’t work so only had little heaters that didn’t do much. We had no wifi the whole time I had to connect the tv to my hotspot just so we could watch Netflix. And the shower handle kept coming off. Manager was nice but could only do what she could do.

was easy to find, lots of parking and good location

nil

Terrible , dirty , unsafe , had a big crack in ranch slider held together with tape , kitchen falling apart, rubbish in the wardrobe ,theres no pool acess like it says in listing. steer well clear of this place

Great location

This property is in desperate need of some updating. Beds were terrible, heating very noisy. Cabinets in the kitchen falling apart.

Location

Was a bit run down needs some improvements

The beach access and the friendly and accommodating staff.

I didn't like leaving. Everything was perfect for our stay.

Perfect location for what we needed, nice and quiet. Staff were lovely to deal with and friendly.

Just had afew problems locking the door

The door has to be able to lock, smoke detector dangling from the roof, fridge not able to close properly, cuboard door catches

Accomodated my late check in. Nice clean room, comfy warm bed.

Near the beach

Far from restaurants

Close to the beach. We had the ground floor 2 bed apartment which was excellent given our ages. There was a laundry with washer and drier available at no extra cost plus a large clothes horse for drying.

Nothing

the location was awesome so close to a great beach and parks and supermarket

very tiered facility

Great location, staff that met us were helpful and friendly and in contact via text early on. Great view from room. Had everything we needed and close to shops etc as well as beach and coffee cart!

The double beds in both apartments we rented squeaked and felt unstable - this was also the case in the one apartment we had stayed in a couple of years ago. Some investment in the beds would make a huge difference to the stay and rebooking

Super location but lots of maintenance issues in and around the property

Staff was very nice and did everything they could to make our stay pleasant

The lady working there is lovely to deal with.

Very average accommodation. Our sliding door didn’t lock as a mum travelling alone with a 3 year old I didn’t feel safe. Half the blind was missing in the single bedroom so I had to put my child to bed in the queen room. Beds very uncomfortable and very dated bedding. Most the kitchen cupboards were broken. The shower didn’t close properly either. Also broken glass on the patio.

Stainless benches

Old and tired. Not close to anything except the beach

location

property is very tired and needs work. water stain on ceiling from roof leak. crack in ceiling.peeling paint in bathroom. microwave didnt work. shower hose leaks kitchen joinery past use by date floorboards need resurfacing kitchen knife seems to have been used to cut rocks

The lady who looked after the place was really nice & helpful .

The place was rather run down. The 2 wheelchair accessible units had a step to get in & if I hadn't had my own portable ramp with me I would not have even been able to get in to my unit also couldn't use the bathroom sink as has cupboard under it. Wheelchair accessible means a lot more than just a wet floor shower in the bathroom.

Very spacious apartment

Bed was the worst we've slept In time for a new mattress, blind inlounge torn held buy tape bathroom needs a little work

Great spot right across the road from New Brighton Beach. Lots of off street parking, tidy apartment and good value for money.

Location was great right next to the beach, nice and quiet being off the road too. Walked to QE2 to a concert which was roughly 25 minutes. Great parking. Had air conditioning thankfully, it was quite hot when we arrived!

The couch was quite hard/old

The property is good generaly. It’s Getting a bit tired and needs some TLC But on the whole it worked for what I wanted for a short stay.

Close to Brighton Beach. Nice to have a sea view.

Stairs and unit needed some maintenance. Very frugal with kitchen crockery etc.

A comfortable stay with a homely feel. Perfect location and close to QEii Which was where our venue was performing. Lovely staff that was helpful. Would recommend for a stay over.

Bathroom wasn't the greatest. Mouldy, unclean around shower and wallls. Living space needs a good wipe down on the walls and frames.

Communication with the host was good, the living room looked clean, the bathroom had mold, cobwebs in different areas and lamps, the bathroom drain gave off an acidic smell and most of the furniture is worn and old, in the next door a Rooster. I would rate the overall cleanliness at 8/10

The locks were not working properly. It took us ages to get worked. The supply wasn’t enough for the family. The location showed like beach view but but nothing was there to see from the apartment even though we got first floor

The place was very clean n close to the beach We were happy to stay there

Will be back great place

Great customer service very friendly humble and awesome unit was great clean and spacious loved our stay and right by the beach I would highly recommend this to anyone I will be definitely coming back to this lovely place

Everything was ok except for the beds. they were not so comfortable. Petrina tried her best to help. We appreciate her concern but the beds were not that good.

Clean, location and privacy.

Location. Shower water pressure, plenty of hot water.

Facilities very old and tired. Second hand furniture. Drawers don't close properly, similar for some kitchen door. Needs a huge makeover and redecoration.

Very uncomfortable beds. Have stayed here 3 times...only reason I do stay is the view.

New mattress..TV upgrade..outdoor seating

Lovely super friendly and very helpfull staff :)

The room we stayed in was shabby and really would need some upgrades, touch up and TLB to make it worth the nightly price.

The property served its purpose. A place in Christchurch that we can stay to do the things we want to do in area.

Well equipped spacious apartment. Close to beach.

Doesn't look much from the outside but is actually very comfortable.

Easy check in, mostly good facilities but really need some maintenance and updating around the outside area. The thing that lets it majorly down is the bed. I don’t think I slept an hour over the whole night. Could feel and hear the springs when moving. That is the thing that sticks in my mind and overshadows the good.

I like the vidw

It's not worth the cost

Lady who checked us in helpful

Main bed the springs were shot.. no heaterr in bathroom. Whole place smelt like dampness or never been open. Frnt door hard to lock had alot trouble to lock. We got told we have balcony etc via booking and didnt . And Neighbours had a rooster so very early wakeup for sunday . It was clean in areas not suited for family as couch to small

It’s so quiet and close to the beach

Nothing

Location & layout.

Broken shower door, cracked glass in sliding door, cabinet doors not staying closed, kitchen drawers falling apart & kitchen table glass top insecure.

Friendly helpful service

Facilities is very poor and night time there was so.many lies and insects

Nothing

Not much-the beds were comfy at least and the fridge was a decent size. Receptionist was a good sort.

Shabby, worn, sparsely decorated. Door was broken, shower was broken, no drain in bathroom sink-just a hole, no mats, kitchen barely equipped, laundry gross, dining chairs filthy, tv remote didn’t work, stairwell disgusting and covered in bugs

Not alot to like, except the apartment was spacious.

Kitchen cupboards falling apart, grease/grime behind the clear backsplash, poor parking, no one on site to deal with issues - had to ring and wait 10 mins for peraon to turn up for the key., no kitchen cleaning cloths/doshwashing liquid

the location was great, so nice being so close to beach, was a big house in front blocking veiw but could still see some and hear it all night. Staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful and responsive, one of our cars we even lost the key for and they have been accommodating with time to sort it 🙏

the bed was so squeaky you literally couldn't move your head without hearing it, ended up sleeping on the couch bed. facilities in general were bit old but met all the basic requirements needed to create one's comfort. ❤️

The location was good for where we were travelling to. 2 bdrms apartment.

The beds were uncomfortable, and the mattress was thin. The rooms were cold, and the extra blanket in the cupboard was dirty. The electric blankets were a bit suspect, so we did not use them.

Wonderful view of the beach

Squeeky bed that was noisy when rolling over in bed

the manager was lovely

the facilities were so poor, everything was falling apart. We had one pot and it didnt even have a lid! This property seriously needs some money spent on it

Great location

The property was a little tired.

Location

Well, a lot. And I am going to be honest. First of all, the photos in the avert are deceiving. It is old and out dated. Shower curtain rail is hanging loose from the ceiling. All the drawers are loose or broken. The toilet flush button isn't working properly. Beds are old. It is advertised as sleeping 6 but there weren't enough cups, mugs, cutlery, etc. The cutlery drying stand was dirty and full of mould, I had to wash that before I could wash the dishes and I had to do the dishes before using it for the first time as it wasn't clean either. Garden has not been taken care of, overgrown weeds and plants. The meterbox don't close propery and that is a major safety concern, especially with kids. Walls, floors and windows are dirty. Laundry drying stand is all rusted. The only staff member is very friendly and helpfull, but she doesn't have any help. From what I see is that the owners don't care about this place and are quite arrogant about maintaining it. This can be a gold mine if taken care off properly and the manager gets help in the upkeep of this place.
