Welcome to Bushy Point Fernbirds Homestay B&B where a peaceful and quiet stay is guaranteed.

Our homestay is located on an eco-friendly, privately owned, managed and protected forest & wetland reserve on the edge of the New River Estuary, Invercargill, Southland. We have been restoration planting since 1992 and are carbon neutral with zero impact on our wetland.

Predator mammals are under constant control on the reserve, which has increased bird populations significantly. Fernbirds can often be seen very close to the boardwalk and heard calling from the house on a still evening. We get reliable views for 99% of watchers. Good numbers of tui and bellbird provide a dawn chorus from our 2 guest rooms and can be seen feeding 1 metre away from the breakfast table. Fantails follow along the walk taking insects on the wing and grey warblers are easily seen. An Australasian Harrier roost nearby draws numbers of hawks back each night.

Staying at our relaxing homestay increases the opportunty to see fernbirds but if your itinerary does not allow a stay, contact us to arrange a time for a tour. Cell phone reception is patchy around Otatara, remember this when in the area.

Take a short drive to restaurants nearby or feel welcome to use our kitchen to cook your evening meal.
