    Beautiful, Peaceful Location but Cleanliness Needs Attention My wife and I spent three nights here for my birthday and really enjoyed the peaceful, natural surroundings. The cottage is in a beautiful secluded location with amazing birdlife, and waking up to the dawn chorus each morning was a real highlight. The view from the deck was also fantastic, making it a lovely place to relax and unwind. Overall, it’s a wonderful location and a cosy place to get away. With better attention to cleaning and maintenance, it could be a fantastic stay.

    Unfortunately, there were some cleanliness and hygiene issues. We found cobwebs around the kitchen and light fixtures above the bed, mouldy curtains, and dirty bathroom taps and shower head. The biggest concern was the kettle, which had pieces of plastic coming off when boiled. I raised this with the host on the day we checked in, but unfortunately the issue remained unresolved throughout our stay. This was disappointing, particularly given the safety concern.

    A wonderful place to stay!

    Beautiful elevated spot with native bush, bird song and a wonderful view of Akaroa Harbour and its surrounding hills. Loved the tasteful decor and attention to detail. Logburner was a real treat.

    Nothing not to like about this holiday cottage. If I’m being very picky a face flannel is a basic and would have been appreciated. Definitely not a deal breaker! Wish I had stayed longer.

    Paradise away from home

    This was our second time at Woodside Cottage. We just love it! It had everything we needed to be cozy and warm. We love the seclusion and the bird song.
