Whatever you do, don't stay here! The apartment was very small and sparsely decorated for the price of almost $300 per night. We wouldn't have minded and didn't voice a complaint until we awoke at 1am to find bed bugs crawling all over the bed and biting us. We evacuated the place immediately but are now paranoid about the possibility... More

I wish I had seen some of these reviews before I booked. We arrived late to find the apartment was still being cleaned....at 4.30 in the afternoon....went away after being given a key, and told it would be done in 45 minutes. We moved our suit cases in just after 6pm, the floor was so filthy your feet stuck to... More

I was very skeptical about renting an apartment here, after reading all the reviews... came in first to inspect it myself and guess what... I checked in straight away! It's clean, well priced, comfortable, warm, has free internet, sky tv and it's just across the street from the beach. I was looking for a long term accommodation, stayed in 2... More

Let me give you a brief summary of what happened to us. We booked almost a year in advance an apartment at BeachLife. We were supposed to stay there for a week during Oct11 for the World Rugby match but unfortunately for all of us and specially the people of Christchurch the earthquake changed all the plans. The games that... More

The apartments are quite well kitted out except I noticed the filter for the airconditioning inside was chocked full of dust and had not obviously cleaned out (if ever). The Internet kept on dropping out and the rooms were not serviced daily (which suprised me as the tariff is not exactly budget). The kitchen amenities are adequate (the oven was... More

After reading other reviews we cut out stay from 2 nights to 1 night before arriving. We were pleasantly surprised with the unit, small but comfortable, bright, and clean. I had booked this unit because I was keen to cook meals. Found the kitchen had lovely fixtures, stove and range hood, but the kitchen utensil were very basic. No Micro-wave... More

We stayed here with our two young children and I would not stay again! We checked in to a downstairs 2 bedroom apartment which at first glance seemed quite nice. However when I put my bag down on the bed I noticed the duvet was covered in stains. I then looked in the bathroom and found that the toilet was... More

although mostly clean this room wasn't worth the price paid, and that included the sore back from the very hard beds and inch thick pillows. at $200plus a night i would have expected a bit more quality than this. More

im amazed at the negative reviews! i stayed for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed my stay..management couldnt have been friendlier or more helpful and i appreciated the locked gates at the entrance! the room was lovely with a big balcony and no, i couldnt see the ocean but there are rooms on other levels that have sea views so ask...
