I liked the clear communication,how helpful the host was and the super clean and comfortable rooms this place is the bees knees super close to everything in new Brighton Howie is a top man very helpful and the rooms bathroom etc is super clean tidy and the beds so comfortable ya carnt go wrong

Everything was tip top nothing bad at all

Staff is really friendly

Everything is good, except no toilet paper in a room.

It was clean, comfortable and pleasantly located near the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful

I can’t think of anything really

The staff are nice and approachable.

Great host, warm and comfortable

So homely and comfortable, lovely place with really friendly owner ☺️

What made our stay exceptional was Howie the manager. My family arrived after us and wanted to stay at Sandy Feet as well. But there wasn't enough room for everyone but Howie found a place close by for them... that's not his job but he went that extra mile and that makes the difference

The manager is the best guy! He helped us so much and such a kind person! Also the price is really worth the accom! Thanks for the stay!

Amazingly friendly host, so welcoming 😃

My only thing was that the room we were in didn't match the photos of the room on this website but the room was fine.

Howie was an amazing guy. Very friendly and talkative. The room was beautiful. The shower pressure was really impressive. Loved the vibes and bertie the dog was so adorable and kind. Just wanted to be pat 🩵

The place was comfy, and the owner very gentle.

The room was well furnished, and had everything we needed

The rollers on the mattress base made the bed move a fair bit even when sitting on it but otherwise it was fine

Nice ,tidy place to stay .love to stay again

Howie was very friendly and helpful. Bertie was a delight. Room was very good value for money and was clean and well equipped. Shower was great as was the location to beach etc. Free parking on road was a bonus.

Smell from other people’s cooking was very unpleasant. Walls are very thin meaning you can hear every word from neighbouring rooms and especially annoying if they leave the tv on full volume all night. Not great if you want a good nights sleep.

Host is awesome friendly and goes out of his way to make sure everything is ok, and promotes the area well .

Everything, nice spacious room, lovely host and easy to get along with.

Excellent environment very comfortable nice deck out the back to relax in the sun a homely feel an awesome host cheers howy we felt that comfortable we stayed another night highly recommend

There was nothing we didn't like

他們有一隻狗狗叫Bertie，不會亂叫，非常友善，胖胖的很可愛，真希望他是我的狗，超級可愛 新任的經理非常友善，住宿的地方很乾淨，有免費的咖啡跟巧克力還有牛奶，淋浴的水壓也很強，還有後院，廚房的設備非常齊全

隔音不太好，隔壁房的人算是比較安靜的，但是我可以清楚地聽到隔壁講話跟打呼的聲音

Good location comfy bed.

Although clean we had a cockroach running across the floor a daddy longleaf and two dead flies in shower. Power socket with tv, jug, microwave and mini fridge blew Fuze so no tv manager not helpful to sort problem at 8pm. We were able to use kitchen accross corridor for jug and microwave.

Exceptional comfort!!! Nice courtyard outside, somewhere to sit in evening but weather did no favours. All up an exceptional find.

Rules…. first thing I saw on entry was the sign posting all the Rules. Placards and signs everywhere with Rules and threats of eviction if we step out of line. Bruce, pull back on the officialdom, it’s quite disconcerting and despite my favourable comment above, I felt I’d lose nothing by doing an about turn and checking in to the Novotel but I’d already paid up front. Normally I stay across the road but this time thought I’d give you a try.

Room was very big for the price.

The owner is very rude. Had to replace something i damaged and he charged me an insane amount. Never received an invoice for it after multiple tries to contact him.

Cheap but clean

Parking

Quaint and comfortable - had everything we needed.

Location somewhat out of the way without own transport.

The main host was rude, not welcoming as you expect a hospitality host to be. We were late to check in due to unexpected rain in the South Island and drive took longer than expected as we wanted to drive safe. Because we were late the host was rude by reminding us the check out is at 10 am. With such behavior obviously I wouldn’t want to stay longer because it’s common sense that all stays have a standard check out time and there’s no need for a rude reminder. Although most places have a flexible check in even if it’s late they should arrange a key to pick up in safe place as most places does if that’s what triggered the whole behaviour or if they are usually so rude. To add on the booking said private bathroom it’s not along with the cabin it’s separate in the main house so you need to walk all the way to main house and shower which is right next to the reception, which had to be mentioned in the booking to know it’s not really private.

Nice and chill. Good location close to the pier and the hot pools.

The fact that there’s writing on the walls everywhere. What you should and shouldn’t do. Felt like I was told what to do from a wall at all times. Didn’t really liked that and honestly it was a bit uncomfortable. I think the owner needs to understand that if he wants to make money hosting people, the guests should have free will in order to feel comfortable inside the guest house. Many of the writings had a passive aggressive sort of vibe.

The property is clean

The hosts were awesome. I appreciated the ensuite in our room. The dog was super cute and it was a nice and causal environment...easy to come and go!! Cruisy as!

When it was windy I think it blew lots of acorns onto the roof which kept me up lol hahahaha. Must of been badluck lol but will blame that on nature and not the house or people x

We had a great stay and especially loved the dog

Owner double booked the room and moved us into a smaller room with only one bed without informing us in advance. When I raised the issue, he was very rude and defensive and came across as quite hostile. Thankfully, support at Booking.com stepped in and helped me find another place to stay, which I really appreciated.

Comfortable place feels like home. We arrive late at night but the owner was still very accommodating. The place is clean and budget friendly

This is more like a backpackers' than a hotel, but of its type it is excellent: friendly staff, spotlessly clean, a well equipped bedroom with its own bathroom, and a shared kitchen.

The owner was keener that we didn't forget to leave the key, rather than wishing us a friendly farewell!

Lovely host with a bit of a sardonic sense of humour, but we enjoyed it. The room was lovely - clean, cozy, cool. Just what we needed to decompress after a long hike:) there's a kitchen as well, though we didn't use it.

The location is a bit far from the centre, but that wasn't what interested us anyway.

Such a cosy spot.

The owner demonstrated a lack of professionalism by canceling my stay based solely on the name on my account, resulting in a thoroughly disappointing experience; I have not encountered issues with any of my other bookings, but he made a judgment about me prior to our meeting and I would not recommend this establishment at all.

Was wary of the rainstorms going on at the time, so decided to find somewhere with a roof over our heads and Sandy Feet Accommodation offered the best price for it. I was expecting bunk beds for my friend & I, but it was instead just one bed (to be fair, the booking did say it was one of the two options). But the bed was quite large, so there was enough space for the both of us with a pillow fort in the middle. There was a kettle in the bedroom, plus complementary tea, coffee, and sugar, complete with cups. There was free milk & water in the fridge, and you can use the kitchen however you like except for cooking pungent foods (garlic, etc.). TV had YouTube on it, so we had a blast watching Border Security 😂

The bathtub had marks on it, but it didn't seem removable via water or brushing, so I guess it's just some minor damage that stuck around...

The location was good, near the beach, near shops and walks and great private and quiet. But I loved his dog.

The owner wouldn't listen to me about the washing machine and saying i was deceitful when I wasn't. He seemed very stressed.

Bruce was a lovely host! He kept communication open and allowed us to check in early. He had a smile on his face and very sweet. The beds were extremely comfortable and there were plenty of towels. Utilities were amazing, we had a lovely stay!

The shower didn’t heat up overly hot, think there was a disconnect between the off and the hot spin/dial

周围很安静，停车很方便

房间是个阁楼，要上狭窄又有点陡的楼梯，带娃拎行李不是很方便。房主很注重安静，特意强调小孩子不能出噪音，楼板确实很不隔音，所以我一直限制小朋友大声说话和玩闹，确实很拘束小朋友，对于享受旅程的他们，感觉很不好，没有单独的那种汽车旅馆或者单独的房间那么自在。

This was an amazing stay great money for value and non-pretentious lovely kind owners The caravan comes with a personal bathroom 5 m from the caravan ! My apologies for leaving a plate in the sink as I couldn’t find the kitchen but I’ve never asked Also apologies for getting butter chicken on your white towel Many thanks 10 Stars 🤩

alles was aanwezig in de keuken. prima kamers en een super goede douche.

keuken was niet erg schoon en vaak met te veel mensen.

Shower has great pressure, Bruce was friendly bed comfortable

Was passable for 1 night stay meet our needs

검은색 멍멍이가 다정다감 해서....

Alles sauber und praktisch, in der Küche an vieles gedacht. Immer wieder!

Great host, comfortable room and great bathroom reserved for us. This made the stay very pleasant

Some dirty stuff was left in the fridge from the previous people which wasnt too pleasant

The host was very helpful he realized that I would be able to go upstairs so he swapped rooms for me.

Had seating other then bed in the room

Our room would have had the bedroom in outside cottage and require us to use bathroom in the main house. The host switched our room so the bathroom was accross the hallway. It room has own bathroom which is not located in the bedroom.

Очень уютный домик! Есть кухня, где можно приготовить.

Le lieu est vraiment top, tout est là. Au niveau matériel rien besoin de plus.

L'hôte a été extrêmement désagréable. Des injonctions sont écrites au marqueur noir sur les murs du bâtiment, c'est extrêmement oppressant. Une taxe complètement illégale de 50 dollars si on utilise les équipements après 10pm. L'homme qui tient l'hébergement est venu derrière notre porte de salle de bain pour dire à mon mari d'éteindre la lumière une fois être passé aux toilettes... Il nous a reproché que ce que nous cuisinions sentait trop fort (pâtes et bœuf sans aucun aromates...) et a donc ouvert la fenêtre de cuisine. Il y avait un chien sur place, non stipulé dans l'annonce et j'en suis allergique... L'établissement est en vente, ceci explique cela.

we had our own bathroom in room number 5 which I didnt expect from the booking description. Lovely room with a view of the garden.

The owner could be a bit grumpy. We were only there for one night, I apparently left the toilet light on three/four times and I immediately got told off. I think thats a bit weird, I get it, energy saving is important but you are a guest and it is travellers accomodation. Also you are not allowed to cook with garlic or chili, which means you can only cook pretty bland foods. I thought that was unnecessarily restrictive, if you cook, it will always leave a smell. But this is something apparently many new zealanders find annoying.

Très bien pour y séjourner 1 ou 2 nuits maximum Cuisine partagée très pratique

Un peu loin de tout (peu de transport en commun)

The structure of our room is nice, the supplied items are good like the toiletries, kitchen items, hair dryer, heatpump, pillows etc.

We have to park our car on the street, it felt so unsafe. The bathroom is so tiny and when you shower, the curtain stick to you. There are so many writings on the wall as reminders but they are not written in a traditional way as we see on establishments.

Quiet location. Clean warm room with a comfortable bed and good ensuite. Reception was very helpful and friendly.

Nothing of note.

Strict check out time

Space. Cleanliness and quietness

I liked everything
