Where will I be?

Why choose Birdsong?
If you appreciate solitude and being surrounded by nature but like to take your rustic with a side of luxe, Birdsong might just be your new favourite place. The cottage has been beautifully reimagined in modern country style and sits on 5 lush green acres backed by ancient rainforest.
How is the property laid out?
The master bedroom has a king bed that overlooks a small wooden deck (perfect for your morning coffee) to old-growth cedar trees filled with the sounds of birdsong. A beautiful ensuite with a shower and toilet adds to the feeling of quiet luxury.
Down the panelled hallway are 2 further queen bedrooms, one with its own bathroom that has a shower and a toilet. The fourth bedroom has both a queen and a loft bed and can sleep 2 adults, or alternatively makes a fun retreat for 2 or 3 children. The shared bathroom has a bath, shower and toilet.
It's easy to throw together a quick meal or indulge your cooking passions in the chef's kitchen, which features a Smeg oven, dishwasher, Nespresso coffee machine and microwave.
The lounge area has an open fireplace, comfy sofas and a leather chair that is the perfect place to sit and browse the extensive book collection or just gaze out through the 7 metre picture window to the pastures and escarpment beyond. There is also a dining area and a washer and dryer for your use.
