What a slice of Kiwi paradise ! Wonderful spacious, warm,clean home. So peaceful amidst the bush with lots of birdsong.Great instructions re finding the house and tips on what was or wasn't available locally from Sally. Close to the lake, walking tracks and lodge cafe etc. Very happy to highly recommend to others looking for a wonderful comfortable bush retreat holiday at St Arnaud
We really enjoyed staying at Bill’s Birdsong Place. It was very nice and quiet. We loved hearing the wonderful bellbirds piping in their beautiful songs. We were very comfortable here. We loved hiking through the magical forest, and partway up to Mt Roberts. (Up to the hut). Paddle boarding with the eels was especially fun. Thank you!!
