Situated just one street away from the beach and pier at New Brighton, Coastal City Retreat is ideally suited for a seaside holiday only a short drive from Christchurch. Featuring a bright and cosy interior with a fully equipped kitchen, this home has everything you need for a relaxing holiday including a beautiful bedroom, a comfy lounge area and a modern bathroom. Even during the colder months, you’ll be kept warm by the heat pump. The New Brighton Pier is, of course, the main attraction nearby but along the Brighton Mall, you’ll find a lovely library and plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants to explore and to grab something new to eat. The home is just a short 15-minute drive away from central Christchurch although close by you’ll also find a golf course and hot salt water pools to dip in. Make some new memories and enjoy a stellar holiday by the sea right from Coastal City Retreat. Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

Known as the Garden City of New Zealand, Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island. Historic buildings fill the streets and the tranquil Avon River runs through its centre, making for great picnic spots along the willow-lined riverbanks. Visitor attractions include the Botanical Gardens, the International Antarctic centre, the Christchurch Art Gallery and the Christchurch Gondola. In summer, the nearby beaches are a great option for relaxing days in the sun. All of our Christchurch holiday homes are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
