Dennis 
“Priory lacking maintenance, Dryer broken, door in lounge cupboard had fallen off and was just leaning up against the frame, cobwebs everywhere, no dishcloth at all, had to get out own and fish brush was dirty, only 5 small toilet rolls for two bathrooms for 3 nights.”
- Dennis, October 2024Thank you for your review Dennis. At Bachcare we take maintenance and cleaning very seriously and have strict guidelines in place to maintain our high standards. We are sorry in this case this was not what you experienced. We will follow up on this with our local team along with any other maintenance that may be required. Bachcare

Tanya “We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - spacious and comfortable accommodation, well suited to our family of parents and young adults.”
A real bonus was being able to bring our two dogs and finding it was a very welcoming place for them too. A huge thank you - Rose on the Bay will be top of our list when we come back to stay in Akaroa.
- Tanya, April 2024Charlie “Very happy with our stay in Rose by the Bay!”
Great location with awesome views of the bay. Great for multi-family stays.

Steph “We had a wonderful stay.”
House was really well equipped and a beautiful view out over akaroa. Clean and tidy and great to have the kids room upstairs which was well set up amd gave them a place to play away from the common area. Communication leading up to the booking was fantastic. Thanks for a great stay
- Steph, December 2022Christine “Very comfortable house to stay in.”
Lovely view to the bay. Enjoyed sitting out on the balcony. Easy walk to town. Nice to have coffee machine plus well equipped kitchen. Would stay again.
- Christine, November 2022Terry “Comfortably fit 7 adults.”
.good living area and deck was great for outdoor entertainment..lovely gardens and bird life..
- Terry, November 2022Gary “Couple of suggestions In my experience normally bath Matt’s, small hand towels by basins and tea towels are provided.”
Plus some chux clothes would have helped us keep the place cleaner and allowed to clean the bbq. We did not bring these ourselves and struggled.
- Gary, October 2022Sally “So clean, great location, an easy walk to town.”
The house was set up with everything needed. Just couldn't find the cleaning check list!
- Sally, September 2022Melissa “Beautiful view and handy location.”
Lovely additional touches like the coffee pods, Netflix and the great amount of tea-towels. The kids loved the CD player etc up in ‘the kids room’. Lots of split levels, so great for older kids or several families who have different spaces (not so much for younger kids who can’t manage stairs) but still while having a great large living area sizeable enough for all. Would recommend this place, and would hire again if in Akaroa.
- Melissa, July 2022Kirsten “It was fabulous.”
Perfect for our writing retreat but would recommend for any kind of stay.
- Kirsten, July 2022Gabi “Loved the house, location, space and decorations, loved that we could bring our dogs.”
- Gabi, June 2022L “Lovely home with nice views close to town.”

- L, June 2022Jenny “A great place to stay with families, everything we needed, very child friendly, warm, and amazing setting and views.”
- Jenny, April 2022Charlotte “A lovely house with wonderful views - extremely well set up with everything you need for a relaxing and peaceful stay.”
- Charlotte, January 2022Linda “A wonderful place to stay if you have a large family with kids.”
Our kids really appreciated the books, games and lego on site. The property was very clean and had all the utensils. BBQ was very handy. The best part was that we could bring our dog with us on the holiday. Will definitely stay here again.
- Linda, January 2022Susan “Lovely home.”
Great location. Fabulous views. Indoor/ outdoor living. Very comfortable and well appointed. Would recommend.
- Susan, December 2021Mia “Lovely house for a large group.”
We had 5 adults and it was ideal being able to spread out across 4 bedrooms. 2 bathrooms and spacious indoor and outdoor living areas. Well-equipped and ideal if you have children with the loft room extremely spacious and well-stocked with toys, books and stereo. Would book again.
- Mia, December 2021Genevieve “Great place to stay with an extended family/group.”
Very accommodating for kids and dogs, including a dog area and what seemed like endless games! Great location up from the waterfront, easy stroll down into town. Plenty of outdoor space as well as off street parking. Really enjoyed our stay and cant wait to come back!
- Genevieve, September 2021Annabel “It's a very reasonable price for such a lovely house.”
The cleanliness was of a very high standard, we loved how well the beds were made and the way the rooms were decorated. It felt like hotel quality. Really appreciated the extra touches like the Nespresso coffee. Great place, beautiful views. We would come again

Finding your own little haven for relaxation won’t be a problem at this absolutely gorgeous Akaroa accommodation, where the gardens invoke a feeling of serenity and the harbour views take your breath away. Welcome to Rose on the Bay! Spread across two levels and boasting four bedrooms, two bathrooms and great indoor and outdoor living, there’s ample space for everyone to come together at this family and pet friendly holiday home. Natural light pours into this home through an abundance of picture windows, revealing lovely harbour views that make the perfect backdrop for a tranquil getaway. Three ranch sliders provide seamless indoor-outdoor flow on to the wrap around deck for fresh coastal air and fantastic alfresco dining, with a soundtrack of native birdsong. The semi-open-plan living space will certainly become the hub of the home, furnished for comfort and equipped with a heat pump and ceiling fan for temperature control. A Smart TV with all the bells and whistles, and complimentary WiFi, are on hand for entertainment and connectivity, while a fully equipped kitchen, complete with a Nespresso machine and complimentary coffee pods, offers everything you need to self-cater your stay. If you're looking for a cool and shady spot to enjoy a date with your book and a glass of wine, the rear deck is the place to be; the kids and the dog enjoying the lush lawn and the sunshine. Four bedrooms, including a top-level space set up with the kids in mind, comfortably sleep up to nine guests here at Rose on the Bay. A bathroom on each level, plus a full laundry, complete the setup for your stay. It’s an easy 1.2km walk to the Akaroa Village from Harbour View, where you’ll find a great selection of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. Stroll along the foreshore with an ice-cream, or book yourself on a dolphin watching cruise to spot the native New Zealand Hector’s Dolphin! If you’ve brought the boat, there’s space to park it at Rose on the Bay, and the nearest ramp to launch from is just a three-minute drive away. If you want to take the kids for a swim, the beach at French Bay is just a five-minute drive from your home away from home.
