Collingwood Birdsong Cottage - organic retreat

Collingwood Birdsong Cottage is a creative self-contained holiday home in a private forest garden.

Enjoy a 5 minute walk, or 2 minute drive to Collingwood’s cafes, art studios, estuary and beach. Just a 15 minute drive to the famous Mussel Inn for great music and nourishing meals.

Ideal for a restful retreat, or as a base to explore Golden Bay’s wilderness forest tracks and endless beaches for swimming. Birdsong Cottage is full of character, with natural timber features and a restful simplicity. We

The downstairs living spaces are spacious and open-plan. You’ll find a full kitchen, dining room and lounge with a log fire for winter warmth. This space opens onto the covered deck and lawn for easy summer living. A great place to relax and enjoy the sun or shade, and the beauty of the wilderness garden.

Internal french doors off the lounge lead to a cosy bedroom with 2 single beds (low futon slat beds with comfortable inner-sprung mattresses).

Upstairs you'll find a sun light-filled attic bedroom, with views of the tree-tops and native birds. This room has a queen slat bed with a comfortable inner-sprung mattress.

A small desk provides the ideal place for some contemplative writing or drawing. Unlimited internet and no tv.

The downstairs bathroom has a shower and a bath (with garden and bush view). There is a separate toilet with hand basin nearby.

Great location and a nicely finished small house and garden. I didn't realise there was no TV - not a problem for us but some people may miss that when booking. We would definitely stay again and enjoyed the whole experience.

We had a great stay at the Birdsong cottage, which has a very personal feel to it. The garden space is fantastic to relax at the end of the day. We thought the accommodation was well equipped and Nicola was a welcoming host!

The Cottage is exactly as described and pictured. It was very clean and comfortable, plus lots of tips about the area. We enjoyed our stay very much and were very happy about the great teas and the vegetables from the garden. All organic, which we appreciate very much. The garden and the birds were a delight.
