A lovely, sparkling clean apartment with full kitchen, bathroom and laundry room facilities and a very comfortable sitting room and bed. Jan and Phil are on hand if you need them but are not at all intrusive; leaving you free to come and go. There was a lovely surprise of fresh bread, butter, milk and eggs in the fridge along with other dried goods in the cupboard for us to use. Birdsong is in a lovely, peaceful setting in Johnsonville, a great country town with good shops and a few restaurants and lots of lovely walks and scenery. It is also only 15 minutes by car to Wellington City, with a good bus and train service from Johnsonville if you prefer not to drive. We had a fabulous stay here and would highly recommend Birdsong and Jan and Phil to any other travellers thinking of visiting this area. Thank you Jan and Phil for such a lovely stay, and we look forward to seeing you again when we next visit our family in New Zealand.
