Welcome to Sandy Feet At Brighton, Christchurch

Sandy Feet At Brighton is only a 1min drive to North Beach at New Brighton in Christchurch.

Completely refurbished and redecorated in late 2016, we are excited to offer our range of accommodation from backpacker and budget accommodation to luxury suites, most with ensuites and some with separate entrances. Each room has tea and coffee-making facilities and there is a fully equipped shared kitchen and an outdoor patio area that opens to the Garden Cottage and outdoor lawn area.

New Brighton has a great beach for surfing and swimming (during summer).

Located close to the New Brighton Mall, you can walk from Sandy Feet At Brighton to the shops, restaurants, cafés and the Countdown supermarket. The architecturally unique New Brighton Pier and Library are situated on the waterfront opposite.

New Brighton offers a relaxed and fun atmosphere and the pier offers expansive views from Banks Peninsula to Kaikoura. The Christchurch City Centre is just a 10min drive away.

We have a selection of 6 rooms ranging from a Garden Cottage (for the kids or backpackers) to luxurious suites that sleep 3 (queen and single), most with ensuites. With only 6 rooms, and a quiet location, you will enjoy the good night's sleep that you expect in a seaside village.

Prices start at $65 per night and go to $165 per night (1-2 people).
