Mary 
“Amazing cottage!”
! Everything you could need in the kitchen including a fab coffee maker and little things like salt, pepper, cooking oil, was even milk in the fridge! Huge spa bath in the bathroom and the outdoor spa was lovely! Such a beautiful quiet secluded spot but less than a 5 minute drive to the main part of town. I will 100% be back on our next trip to Akaroa.

Dairbe “Loved our stay here with birdsong, spa and nespresso coffee.”
Complimentary drinks were a bonus. We enjoyed the smart TV, Netflix, log burner and heat pump, candles and Bluetooth speaker. Very well set up for all our needs. We will be back!
- Dairbe, May 2024Craig “Lovely setting.”
Quiet and relaxing. Enjoyed our stay.
- Craig, September 2023Sam “Thank you so much to the owners of Bushside Cottage and the Bachcare team, what an amazing and seamlessly easy experience.”
We booked the cottage for a couple of nights and loved every minute. Greeted with a stunning bottle of Sauvignon blanc, a perfectly cosy and private cottage and an incredible outdoor spa (40deg). It was bliss. We will most definitely be back and look forward to returning.
- Sam, August 2023Deepanshu “Nice and comfy place.”
Loved the couch. Went there for my birthday. Just once concern- the douvet had bloodstains in it. Rest all was perfect.
- Deepanshu, August 2023John “A great little private getaway surrounded by native bush.”
Hot tub was awesome, log fire delicious. And just 2 minutes drive from beautiful Akaroa.
- John, June 2023Hilde “Beautiful, peaceful cottage with all the comforts you may need.”

Dave “Really enjoyed the place!”
Private, clean, and enough there to enjoy a couple of days of comfortable relaxation. Spa, TV, and comfy couches and bed made the stay perfect. Awesome location being close to Akaroa.
- Dave, March 2023Greg “We had a Fab stay.”
Thanks very much for having such a lovely little spot. It was very comfortable, cosy and so close to town but felt like you were well out of town. Being farmers we like our quiet and this provided that for us. Could wake up in the morning glance out the window and know how the harbor was faring wind wise. We live near the beach in Raglan so being able to wake and see an expanse of water was spot on. Would definitely recommend.
- Greg, March 2023Tania “Great stay would recommend a bbq thou”
- Tania, January 2023Thanks for your review Tania, we're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Bushside Cottage. We appreciate your feedback and have passed this onto the property owners for consideration. Bachcare
