Kirsten 
“We loved the place, comfortable and tidy only thing we would suggest is maybe getting a couple of comfortable pillows for the bed.”
- Kirsten, August 2024 -
Jeanette “Cottage was lovely.”
We had to go though the fire wood as the stuff on the top was not as dry as the stuff at the back. Also the WiFi kept cutting out. Was lovely listening to the birds outside. The couch was abit uncomfortable.
- Jeanette, June 2024Thank you for your feedback, Jeanette. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay overall, but we are sorry that your stay was impacted and we have passed your comments to our local team. Bachcare
Juliet Catherine “Great cottage.”
Enjoyed our stay. Easy access to walks to town and headlands. Enjoyed all the noises of the birds and insect chorus.
- Juliet Catherine, February 2024Steve “There is on going confusion over the location of the cottages dates back several years re previous reviews.”
We only realized we were at the correct address because we met the caretaker at the entrance.It would be great to view all the cottages in one format. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- JOHN, March 2023Annie “Fantastic cottage, quiet and cosy with great views.”
We'll be back! Highly recommended
- Annie, October 2022Ruth “We had a lovely weekend at Overton cottage.”
The bell birds were singing as we arrived and the heater on to welcome us. We soon had the log fire burning although we did have a bit of a struggle with the handle. We loved the position of the cottage in the kanuka and the views over to Akaroa. There was even a morepork calling through the night.
- Ruth, October 2022Nicola “Gorgeous wee spot, couple nice walks close by.”
A village of cottages yet you don’t even hear or see other people. Overton has a hearty fire place, the water pressure is fantastic too! Great views overall 10/10
- Nicola, December 2021Nicki “The overall cottage experience was comfortable and cosy, nestled in the bush and surrounded by native birds and the odd sheep!”
! Very holiday feel and relaxed vibe! We cosied up and enjoyed the fire, appreciated the Scrabble set on offer (and made use of it!) and thought the book sharing idea was novel and thoughtful. We also appreciated the local walks info and made use of one of them! The view was stunning and the location was convenient. We felt spoilt and that we'd certainly had and enjoyed a mini break away. We'll be back!! Thank you. N & G.

- Pauline, January 2021Jeanette “Lovely cottage, we had arrived an the person who meet us to give us the key, had been there abit earlier and turned the heater on so it wasn't to cold.”
It had been windy and some rain. It was lovely and comfortable to walk into. So thank you. It was lovely to hear the bird songs in the morning and evening. Enjoyed the walking track to the metal rhino etc. Would come back.
- Jeanette, November 2020Gordon “Beautiful peaceful getaway nestled in native bush.”
An ideal place for a romantic retreat or to escape the hussle and bustle of modern day life. Wake to native birds greeting the day, take a stroll to Akaroa or have a soak in the spa bath and relax on the balcony with a good book. We found our happy place.

Everything you need, a fire place and a spar bath. Heaven. A short walk to town. Loved it.
