BeachLife Apartments

Wonderful and Peaceful Location by Pacific Ocean

BeachLife Apartments are situated on the east coast of Christchurch City. It takes only about 15 minutes of pleasant, scenic driving to the city centre. The airport is about 20 to 25 minutes away.

Unlike many modern cities in the world, New Brighton is largely undeveloped with full of nature beauty and attractions despite of its proximity to city centre and being on prime ocean side location.
