Wake to an abundance of birdlife and an inspiring dawn chorus. Enjoy a 5 minute stroll to Collingwood’s cafes, art studios, wildlife-filled estuary and a 5 km long sandy beach. Ideal for a restful and creative retreat, or as a base to explore Golden Bay’s wilderness bush/forest tracks and endless beaches. Your self-contained and comfortable holiday home away from home. Birdsong Cottage is a well built and insulated 2 storey holiday home. Recycled, natural timber features and simple creative touches abound, with a gently sustainable focus. 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 and 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. The downstairs bathroom has a shower and a bath (with a garden and bush view). There is a separate toilet with hand basin nearby. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Kitchen island - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Composting - Comprehensive food waste policy - Comprehensive recycling policy - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Garden - Local artist showcase - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - No plastic coffee stirrers - No plastic drinking straws - No plastic soft drink bottles - No plastic water bottles - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33570000/33566200/33566156/4c3a35cf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Idyllic river side retreat Parapara - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 185 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=33566156&PinnedHotelID=33566156&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73450000/73447600/73447589/eb6f31b9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Hub Summary:
