About

Songbird Gardens are located in the Pohangina Valley, Manawatu's scenic gem, and are open daily from 10am to 5pm. Entry fee to the gardens is $4 for adults but children are free. Devonshire teas are served on the deck of the main house at a cost of $5.

Story

Songbird Gardens are large and rambling with glorious views in every direction. They are situated on the edge of the Ruahine Forest Park which offers hunting and bushwalks. They are a bird watcher's dream, and feature ponds, a daffodil lawn, bluebell wood, alpacas, rhododendrons, an azalea walk, camelias, magnolias and hundreds of hydrangeas. Children will love the enchanted forest with its fairies and they also love running around the network of paths and lawns. There is a rope swing and accommodation is available. The cottage is rustic with a cosy open fire, a spacious, sunny deck and a ceiling hung with colourful dried flowers. Everything is provided for your comfort and enjoyment. The only thing you need to bring is food.

This place is mainly a wedding venue but we rented it a day for a Church Retreat. The quiet & peaceful environment is excellent for prayer & reflection. Would had given 5 stars if not for the long gravel road leading to the venue.
Beautiful views. The Hall is very nice. Nice walk around the gardens too. Planning to spend the night in the musterers hut early next year !
What a stunning pl. If I was 50 yrs younger I would get married there
Officiated a wedding here last week, and it was just fantastic as a venue with the best views from the lawn. Glorious.
I'm from Australia and stayed at Songbirds 2 years ago and it was wonderful, gorgeous little cabin with flowers drying in the roof. Back in the Manawatu for the weekend I had some friends from Australia with me and took them out for a wander through the beautiful gardens. They loved it, the accommodation is so comfortable and the gardens are spectacular, the BEST B & B ever.
It was a beautiful day so me and my wife decided to go for a drive and see we if we could find any good bush trails to check out. As we drove we headed up toward the Ruahine forestry park to see what trails they had for us to enjoy, but I couldn't find where I was meant to park the car, so I headed down a road with a sign for songbird gardens to see if that's where the parking was or if someone could give us some help. I soon realized what songbird was and thought the cabins and view were beautiful. I said to my wife we should come back out here for a weekend away. My mind was changed soon after as a man came out to our car and stopped us. I explained to the man our situation and that we were looking for the forestry trails but the man was incredibly rude and quite frankly a jerk. He was very sarcastic and aggressive when answering my questions and made us feel like we were not wanted and that we better leave. As we headed off the man followed us up the drive way, taking our license plate number, and continuously watched us as we tried to find our way to the trails. I don't know if the man was just a worker or owner, but because of his cold and uninviting attitude we won't ever be returning.
Such a beautiful place to go, beautiful gardens and veiws as far as the eye can see. They also do small weddings here and they have 2 cottages available to stay in. A beautiful couple that own this property you have to visit this place to experience its true beauty
