Urs “It’s my first time I rented an accommodation by bachcare.”
I am from Switzerland an and bachcare made it possible that I was able to stay longer as I first have planned. To change this was a lot to do for you and the bachcare costumer service did it perfectly! Thanks a lot for the perfect service and for your friendly help. ub

Reuben “Reasonably well appointed accommodation, albeit smaller than anticipated with a lack of furniture.”
It sleeps 4 people, but certainly doesn't have the ability to sit a family of 4 for a meal, or even all be on a couch at the same time. On arrival we found the floor filthy, and shelves dirty. With no access to a vacuum (in the locked cupboard), and only a broom, it was a bit hard to get to an acceptable standard. There were flies & moths in some of the crockery. Someones water bottle under the queen bed from a previous stay. The wi-fi did not work for the 3 days that we were there which made a working holiday a waste of time. Nobody really seemed to care about the issues we had. Would expect a lot more care for the price paid. Great views and comfortable beds.
- Reuben, February 2024Hi Reuben. Thanks for providing a review for your stay at Treetop Retreat. We are glad we were able to fix the wifi issue while you were in-stay and make this a priority to make your stay more comfortable. However, we are sorry to hear that your experience was below your expectations and as such have shared your comments with the local team and property owner. It is also very concerning to hear of your issues with our support office, which we will investigate with urgency. Thanks again for your review. Bachcare
Christopher “Thank you for a great stay, and the bottle of wine.”
I very much appreciated that. I wanted to let you know that there was no hairdryer in the room, and you should also get robes. Other than that constructive feedback, it was great. Thank you again!
- Christopher, April 2023Hi Christopher. We wanted to thank you for leaving a review on your holiday spent here. Your feedback has been shared with the property owner and local team. It's great to hear that you enjoyed your time and we look forward to hosting you again. Bachcare
Veronica “Wonderfully comfortable and located unit with a sensational view.”
We had a great few days = thank you. We'll be back for sure.
- Veronica, April 2023Thanks for reviewing your stay, Veronica. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your holiday at Treetop Retreat! Bachcare
Jen “Fabulous apartment with stunning views, we had a wonderful stay!”
Just a couple of things to note, it says on the website that it doesn't have a hairdryer which it does, but it didn't have an iron or ironing board or shampoo and conditioner, both of which we would have loved. Other than those small things we would highly recommend the apartment.
- Jen, March 2023Hi Jen. We appreciate your feedback given here, which has been addressed on the property listing and shared with the property owner. It's fantastic to hear that you enjoyed your time here and we look forward to hosting you again. Bachcare

Russell “Well appointed, compact pretty much everything you need and only that so ...”
Well appointed, compact pretty much everything you need and only that so henceforth sparsely furnished, it might have been nice to have dining chairs with backs
- Russell, January 2023Thanks for your review, Russell. We appreciate your feedback here, which will be shared with the property owner. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at Treetop Retreat and we look forward to hosting you in future. Bachcare
Juliet “Lovely high spec decoration and spectacular views!”
Beautiful unit. Reason for 4 rather than 5 stars: Was a bit smaller than we were expecting, for a family (not enough seating for all of us, so one kid on the floor) and same price as a 3 bedroom modern house with views which we often rent in Akaroa itself. From photos we thought a bit bigger than reality. Would be nice also to have had coffee pods for the nespresso and milk (even if capsules) so we could make a coffee in the morning.
- Juliet, October 2022Jimmy “Modern and well equiped home with great views over the bay.”
A quick 5 minutes drive to Akaroa for restaurant and cafe. Experience let down by floors being very dirty/dusty upon checkin. Needed to use broom and dustpan to tidy up before settling in.
- Jimmy, June 2022Hi Jimmy, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear about the let down in cleaning, this is certainly no the standard we wish our guests to receive and is being discussed with the cleaning company. We will ensure this is improved for our future guests. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful property, the views are amazing. We hope to see you again in the future. Bachcare
Jane “Fantastic views of the Bay!”
Clean comfortable and well equipped. The bed in the main Merrion was very firm, so would suggest the owners consider this. Overall, a lovely stay
- Jane, August 2021Daniel “A nice and tidy bach with a beautiful view.”
Quiet and serene, and the perfect distance from Akaroa. 5 minute drive to town for cafes, restaurants, and activities - but far enough away that you can escape the crowds.
- Daniel, February 2021Tracey “Absolutely perfect, stunning sea view, tranquil setting and we loved the view of native birds and constant bird song.”
Accommodation was clean, quality fixtures and fittings, linen and appliances. Owners were there for duration of our stay at adjacent house and they were just as lovely as the property.
- Tracey, November 2020Amy “Treetop retreat is modern, stylish and in a breathtaking location!”
Please note that the property is quite cozy and does only have one balcony (some pictures show two). It is a truly peaceful retreat!
- Amy, February 2020Thanks for your review Amy and we're glad you loved this impressive property and location. Thanks for letting us know about the balcony and we've added this to the listing. Hope you can make it back to this lovely retreat! Bachcare
