If a house has "Bachcare" in the title, you pay about 50% more than the shown estimate in hidden fees! We are Superhosts on Airbnb The latest Airbnb 5 star reviews. Come and watch the kereru flying around the place :) Francis June 25 5/5 Lani was very friendly and helpful. She made sure we were all informed about the property and amenities. 5 star ? Host !! Monique April 25 5/5 Great place that could fit our large family in, so nice to be able to stay altogether. Thanks Mark. Barb October 2024 5/5 Mark was an awesome host and would recommend! So communicative and gave the most helpful instructions/outline well before our stay and again a couple days ahead. The house had everything we needed with the two showers definitely coming in handy. This place is very homely and perfect for big/multiple families! (We also had frequent visits from 2 kereru which was a bonus??) https://fb.watch/vhme9djFAk/ Estafani, May 24 "Our stay at Mark's place was amazing, the place is huge for 12 people, and it's very close to the center but at the same time you feel like you are in the middle of the nature, the BBQ place its the best." Corli, April 24 "We enjoyed a lovely long weekend here with friends, 11 people in total. We felt right at home, and it was ideal with kids of all different ages. It is big enough, not to be in each other's space, but with an awesome lay-out for socializing. There is everything you need for a good, relaxing break. It is an easy walk to the beach and shops and so many things to do in the area. We will be back!" 5/5 "Marks place was great for our group of 10. Plenty of space for us, almost everyone had their own room and there was a great outdoor area to hang out in. And great parking, we even had a boat with us. Mark was a great communicator and host" 5/5 Whatever your reason, the value, size, location and inclusions you get here compare extremely well with anything else you will find. The space Just what you want in a Northland holiday home, safe, secluded, beautiful native bush setting, yet only 800m walk to beach, shops, restaurants and bars. The ONLY place in central Paihia with 6 bedrooms and 11 beds making it ideal for families or groups of friends. Yes, 6 bedrooms (when using the downstairs sunroom as bedrooms) so plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Relax in the sun until late in the evening on the huge 8m by 8m balcony and covered outdoor living and dining area. We often have Tui, Kingfishers, quail, wood-pigeons and parakeets flying around and will enjoy the sound of birdsong and cicadas instead of traffic! After exploring the beautiful Bay, swimming with the dolphins, fishing, sailing, golfing or dozens of other options, what better way to finish than to relax on balcony with a cold drink to review another awesome day, the ones memories are made of. You will have 3 double bedrooms, the kitchen, dining, lounge and bathroom upstairs. Down stairs there is effectively a small self contained unit with a bed, 2 sofa beds in the living area and it's own bathroom. Plus a large separate room downstairs with 2 queen beds, plus a single bed in the small sunroom. In the kitchen you have everything you would expect, plus a toastie maker, slow cooker, rice cooker, air popcorn maker, filter coffee machine and double hotplate. Plus there is a large, quality BBQ you will probably use every day :) So absolutely everything is supplied for you, sheets, pillows, pillow cases, towels, hand towels etc. Not only supplied, but all the beds are made up for you! Now isn't that a much better way to start your holiday! :) There is off road parking right by the house. We want you to have the best possible time and can help with all and any questions you may have and give recommendations on our favourite things to do and see and experience while you are here. There are plenty of dates still available, but from experience now is when the summer bookings start to come in. So don't miss out on the time you want, make an enquiry now, take advantage of the great specials and start looking forward to a wonderful, memorable holiday in the beautiful Bay of Islands. We look forward to hearing from you and being of service Cheers Lani and Graeme PS Please note the house is not waterfront or has sea views, the photos of the beach etc are just to show how beautiful it is. I only say this because I had someone arrive thinking that was the view from the house even though I state we are 800m from the beach, shops etc Other things to note Must climb stairs - One flight of outside steps. One of the only places with a pool! (closed over winter)

Patricia Hardwick
We have just spent a week staying at 'Bird Song', and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There were 10 of us staying and we had plenty of room to celebrate my 70th birthday. As the house is within walking distance to the shops, we spent plenty of time exploring the area, and even went out on a fishing charter. I highly recommend Graeme and Lani as hosts. Many thanks for sharing your piece of paradise with us
Ben Potter
Awesome place plenty of beds and space. Awesome outdoor area and close 5min walk to town. Thanks Again!
Anvesh
Nice property and specious.. Bit difficult with only one toilet where you have big group
Response from Owner
Hi Anvesh Sorry you found that an issue, no one else has mentioned it. Yes there is only one toilet, but it is in a separate room, then there is a separate shower plus a shower over the bath
