自我介绍

My husband Greg, and I built this small piece of quintessential New Zealand 8 years ago. With his intimate understanding of all things wood and true flair for design, and my ability to “bring all the small things together” we created this truly unique hideaway destination for travellers.  With his passing and with my five children all but adults, I now have the time and passion to nurture this accommodation retreat. Always on a mission here (my list of to do jobs never seems to lessen ...) and with an unusual mix of job experiences behind me to draw upon (from Avalanche Forecaster to Motorbike Postie) it is my pleasure to offer up stories of how Birdsong Lodge evolved, of the colourful local history, and of worthwhile places to visit. And to receive in turn some of the stories that make up the lives of my guests. Birdsong Lodge sits up a tranquil valley surrounded by bush and exotic trees. It is a place where community involvement is part of the fabric of life - an aspect of rural living that I love. It brings a sense of belonging - something I feel plays such an important part in the way we live. When I manage to make forays into the city it is to taste the delights of cinema going, replenish my supply of reading books and, most importantly, share time with friends. I love people and thus offering Birdsong Lodge to travellers is a great way to get to experience and come to know a whole host of 'new' friends.
