Birdsong is a brilliant accomodation to stay during your trip around the area. It is not far from Rotorua if you can drive. The place is cosy and comfortable, surrounded by trees so you can enjoy peace and tranquility away from the urban life. Just a heads up, try to schedule your activities when there is sun since the road is really dark at night and you would want to avoid any unnecessary risk. As for the hosts, we had only met Bob. He was a very friendly host that made us feel at home and I'm sure Cathy is too. Overall, it will be a great stay for your trip to Rotorua and we can definitely recommend Birdsong to others.
