About this property

🌿 Birdsong Hideaway 🌿

  • Nestled within beautiful NZ native bush, this 1 bedroom cottage is a perfect couples retreat to relax, swim and listen to a soundtrack of native Tui's, Bellbird's and lapping waves. And all this peaceful seclusion with road access.

    You are immediately drawn to the picture perfect north facing 180' views of the Pelorus Sounds, and to top it off it comes complete with its own private beach and jetty. What more can you want.

    The home features two levels, on the ground floor you will find, 3 double bedrooms, 1 bunk room, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, dining and living room, and a large north facing deck with 8 seater outdoor dining table and outdoor lounge furniture (fully fenced and suitable for children). Upstairs you have a games room where the young and young at heart will be occupied for hours with the ping pong and foozeball tables, board games, books and puzzles.

    No matter the kind of holiday you are looking for, this place has something for everyone.
