About this property

Bush and birdsong at spacious home-away-from-home, just minutes from lake shore

Enjoy the bush and birdsong while staying in this very spacious and comfortable home away from home, just a few minutes’ walk from the beautiful lake shore at Kerr Bay in Nelson Lakes National Park.

With four bedrooms, main bathroom plus an ensuite bathroom, three toilets, a huge living area, well equipped kitchen and approximately 2000 square metres of private bush, there’s plenty of room to spread out and have fun – the ideal base, right in the village of St Arnaud, for a private retreat, family holiday or get-away with friends.

Soak up the peace and quiet on the sunny deck or relax by the open fire. Books, puzzles, board games, music, DVDs and kids' toys are all on hand for indoor relaxing.

Linen is provided for the comfortable beds, and well-behaved pets are usually allowed.

St Arnaud village is an excellent location for lake activities, bush walks, adventurous tramping expeditions and mountain biking – or simply chilling out!

Loved Bill’s Birdsong Place and Lake Rotoiti
We really enjoyed staying at Bill’s Birdsong Place. It was very nice and quiet. We loved hearing the wonderful bellbirds piping in their beautiful songs. We were very comfortable here. We loved hiking through the magical forest, and partway up to Mt Roberts. (Up to the hut). Paddle boarding with the eels was especially fun. Thank you!!
