We had a great stay at Bills Place. Our dog was allowed to stay and she had a great time. The place was clean, tidy and in really good condition. Communication from the host was great. Would definitely stay again.

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!!
