About this property

Relax and unwind in your home away from home in a large private home

Bird Song Villa is a beautiful house with 4 double bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms.

The private garden is perfect for BBQs and outdoor living, with lounges and a dining area.

There's no need to worry about road noise or boredom, as we are located on a quiet cul-de-sac with access to Wither Hills Farm Park. The park boasts views over the top of the South Island and walking and mountain bike tracks.

We are located close to town, supermarkets and Marlborough's world-famous wineries are nearby.
The space

The property is on a large section with an established garden home to birds, bees, flowers, and fruit trees galore!

The kitchen is well stocked with dishware for cooking up a storm or simply microwaving popcorn to enjoy a movie in the TV room.

Each bedroom has extra linen and towels, and the bathroom and laundry room are stocked with soap and toiletries.

Bird Song Villa is fully serviced every week, so our guests get the hotel experience with the freedom and privacy of a large private home.

We also have fiber internet, a smart TV, heat pump and heaters in each room, air conditioning, and a fireplace that keeps the house cozy and warm.

Guests will love the indoor/outdoor living downstairs and views across Marlborough upstairs.

About the area:

Blenheim is a great place to explore while traveling through New Zealand. The area has world-renowned wine and ample hiking, biking, surfing, swimming, and relaxing opportunities.

Guests can hike, bike, or book excursions in the Marlborough Sounds and enjoy returning to the house to relax. The sounds offer travelers the best chance to see our unique wildlife, such as birds, penguins, dolphins, whales, and seals.

The area also has three stunning beaches: Rarangi, Whites Bay, and Robin Hood Bay. They are an easy drive from the house and worth exploring.

If beaches, boats, and tramps are not your thing, hop on the Taylor River trail from the house by bike or foot and head into town for a coffee and a look around. Or maybe head out for a short drive to the world-famous Makana Chocolate Factory for their handmade chocolates.

Corporate Bookings:

For corporate/company employee accommodation in Blenheim, the house offers four large rooms at a reasonable price. With two sitting rooms and a large kitchen, employees can cook and relax after work without feeling cramped or in each other's space.

Our hosting style:

We are happy to help by giving local recommendations and/or booking activities for your group, but we are not physically present on the property. However, we are always a phone call or message away and happy to problem solve and make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Guest access:

Except for the garage, guests can enjoy the entirety of the house and its surroundings.

Other things to note:

Please help yourself to the fruit in the backyard :)

Incredible! Look no further.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property! The bedrooms were incredibly spacious, offering plenty of room for everyone to feel comfortable. The entire home was spotless, which made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. One of the highlights was the stunning gardens and outdoor space—truly a peaceful oasis that was perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine in the evenings. Everything in the house was thoughtfully labeled, which made it so easy to find what we needed and navigate the space without any hassle. Having laundry facilities available was a huge bonus, especially after a day of exploring. The location was simply unbeatable—quiet, serene, and surrounded by the beauty of wine country. It felt like the perfect retreat for a weekend getaway. We can't recommend this property enough and would absolutely love to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa

Host profile image
We are a couple from Auckland who moved to the Top of the South for its easy going lifestyle and accessibility to nature. We enjoy hiking, traveling, sailing, yoga and hosting people from around the world.

We no longer live at Bird Song Villa as it’s become a popular holiday home and short term rental but when we did, we adored the house and hope that it shows through our hospitality 😊

Why they chose this property

We love the Marlborough region because of its easy going vibe, beautiful landscape and accessibility to nature.


Who could talk about the area without mentioning wine 😇? Although Marlborough is know for its Sauvignon Blanc, our best kept secret is the amazing other varieties that the wineries produce and don’t tend to sell overseas. If you’re here try our Riesling, Chenin Blanc, Sparking Brut and Pinot Noir and you’ll fall in love with Marlborough wines all over again.

We also love the Wither Hills Farm Park which has hiking and mountain biking trails galore. The house has direct access to the park which is a huge perk because the sunsets up there are glorious.

What makes this property unique

Everything! The garden, birds, fruit trees as well as the clean and inviting spaces that have everything guests need to relax and enjoy themselves.

Our property is close to everything like the Marlborough Sounds, wineries, hikes on the Queen Charlotte Track, Blenheim central, Picton and countless other locations and activities.
