Madeline “I had a much better stay second time around at this cottage.”
The house was clean and tidy on arrival, all facilities advertised were available. I would definitely stay again.

Madeline “Unfortunately our cottage wasn’t clean, the spa was unavailable for the entire weekend and the maintenance of the cottage is lacking.”
Bachcare have since refunded the cleaning fee, however we hope they continue to improve their maintenance, cleanliness and availability of advertised facilities for any future customers.

Great location easy walk to the ferry, convenience of having two car park spaces always helps, beautiful surroundings we will be back
- Lisa, February 2025Patti “Loved the location and being able to walk into town Enjoyed having the back ...”
Loved the location and being able to walk into town Enjoyed having the back deck and privacy of back yard Rooms and beds were comfortable However there was no coffee maker or plunger in kitchen and while we enjoyed the local coffee shop we ended up buying a plunger to make coffee in house the pantry could have been a little more stocked with everyday items such as salt All in all we would definitely return

- Jeanine, March 2023Adrian “Fantastic facilities and perfect location.”
We’ve been to Russell for the last 7 years and this was by far the best place we have stayed in. Bachcare we’re great with us a well. We were able to cancel our stay during the Auckland floods and re-book new dates.
- Adrian, February 2023Julie “Lovely cottage is a great spot, comfy beds etc.”
However needs more dishes and bowls, there was nothing to use in microwave and no bowls at all to make a salad,had to use a saucepan!! Pool & Spa were great, we were lucky that there was no one else in the complex that we had to share it with

Easy check in procedure and house was clean and tidy. Linen and towels were provided. We were here for a wedding at the Duke so very convenient. The shops, eateries and wharf was only a 5 minute walk away max. Would definitely stay again.
