    Birdsong Cottage blew me out of the water -- it's gorgeous, calming, immaculate and the hosts, Susan and Gavin, go above and beyond in ways that make you feel more like whānau than guests. The cottage is very pretty, clean and extremely...

    A beautiful modern cottage set amongst the trees, and gardens. It's a perfect spot for a weekend getaway. Is aptly named Birdsong Cottage as the Tui's were in abundance. Bed, bathroom and kitchen amenities all great! We can't wait to come back...

    The country space and the birdsong which did not disappoint! Comfortable bed and bathroom. Hosts were very friendly. Saw tūī and Kereru and waxeyes feeding. Heard bellbird, kiwi and Ruru too. Very special.

Our cottage is on the old main highway about half way between Waikanae and Paraparaumu and 50K to Wellington. You have private access and an undercover car park if required. Lots of trees with tui, kereru, koromiko amongst others and in the summer there are apples and plums to pick straight off the tree. The cottage has been renovated inside and out, the bed is king size, we will supply linen and towels free of charge and the wifi is also free. The nearest shopping centre is at Paraparaumu about 3k down the highway (not really walkable). Also as we are semi rural our internet/wifi coverage is sometimes patchy but mostly it's pretty good
Gavin is a very keen trapper and bird photographer and would be happy to take guests along with him. We have a couple of small dogs, Lochie and Jett, who will be kept away from the cottage when we have guests
Kapiti Island is about 5k away as is the Paraparaumu Beach village, Coastlands Shopping Centre is 3k south and Waikanae village is about 3k north. Southwards Car Museum is about 1.5k north
