Best accommodation.. was just like staying with family. Rooms were clean and tidy, beds were comfy, and the kitchen was clean and organised. The shower has awesome pressure. Just around the corner was a great chinese place for dinner. They do Chinese and fish n chips. The only down point was I wish I had known about it before. Would definitely stay there again

Offering a garden and inner courtyard view, Sandy Feet Accommodation is located in Christchurch, 2 km from New Brighton Beach and 2.4 km from Waimari Beach Park. This guest house provides air-conditioned accommodation with free WiFi. Outdoor furniture is available for guests to relax or dine outside.

Sandy Feet was a beautiful, calm, secluded home with a lovely garden, and comfortable atmosphere. The beds were very comfortable, it was well heated with great facilities and homely decoration. The host, Bruce, is very kind and accommodating. Everything you need is there, and the location is great. Not too far from the city centre (though I recommend a car if staying here), and Sandy Feet is very close to the wide, sweeping New Brighton Beach.

    Great location, easy to walk or get a bus into town. The hosts were so welcoming and friendly, including two dogs! The breakfast was great, with both hot and cold options. The attic room was comfortable, quiet, and private. The hosts kindly let us leave our luggage there after checkout as we had a later flight. It was a lovely property. Would definitely recommend!

    Property was attractively decorated and very comfortable. In a great location, easy walk to city centre, close to two great eateries Affogotto on the corner and Eliza’s Manor a must to visit! Meredith is an excellent host with many many thoughtful inclusions. We had a special request that Meredith gladly agreed to. Oh and we intend coming back!

    Very accommodating and great host. Lovely surroundings, quiet even though the apartments are located on a very busy road. Very close to Merivale mall which provides great cafes, a supermarket and shops. Our room was serviced everyday. The staff were very pleasant. Everything we would expect plus more.
