Picture yourself waking to a harmony of native birds and gentle rolling waves. A splash of bright green and yellow catches your eye as you raise your head from the pillow. You adjust your focus through the treetops towards the deep blue ocean. Not 24 hours ago you were stuck in traffic. You must be dreaming!
At Birdsong, this very experience is offered daily, anytime of year and from any room in the house.
Completed in late 2018, Birdsong is a contemporary holiday home where simplicity, warm homely features and nature itself combine to offer its guest a unique coastal experience.
Relatively unassuming on arrival, the architectural design, styling and vistas from within are anything but.
On entry you are greeted by a spacious open plan with lofted ceilings, polished Wormy Chestnut floors and a layout dominated by a variety of eye catching features. The built in dining area, timber panelled island bench and sleek cabinetry are as harmonious as the birds themselves.
The central Neo fireplace, Frame TV and ever so slightly angled north wall only add to the style and class of the main living zone. Every inch is blessed with classic Otway & ocean views with the lounge area spilling onto an impressive elevated deck.
Flanking to the south is the en suited master bedroom. With its own private balcony and pillow top views this would typically cause some debate over who gets to wake up here. This is an argument not needed at Birdsong as all bedrooms have a similar picturesque outlook.
Descending to the lower level, a second and third bedroom await, both with their own privileges. The south room boasts its own spacious deck, with outdoor lounge, couch & TV while the north room captures its own unique views and has close proximity to the main bathroom featuring a free standing bath with views equal to anywhere in the home.
Birdsong is named for a very good reason. It is sited in a peaceful bush location with expansive views across the Wye valley and a nearby reserve where native birds regularly swoop. King Parrots, Rosellas, Kookaburras and many more find their homes in the surrounding treetops and take pleasure in visiting.
Other features include reverse cycle air conditioning throughout, hidden butlers pantry, unlimited Wifi, Bluetooth sound bar and off street parking.
Taking a holiday at Birdsong is taking time to unwind, reconnect with nature whilst enjoying all the modern creature comforts.
Make your dream a reality.
