Lonely Birder Establishments

Tourist accommodation situated on the Ortiguiera estuary in San Adrien de Veiga and a few km from Cariño. Two well-equipped, attractive houses.

CASA MIÑEIXA & CASA VEIGA

Recommended by Antonio Nuñez Ossorio and Vanessa de Alba

Thailand: one of the two campsites right in the heart of the Khao Yai National Park, this one is located a few km southeast of Pa Gluai campsite. This camp is bigger and nearer the park headquarters, although the birding is not as good as at Pa Gluai. Like the other camp, you can hire a tent and this is the best option for low-budget birders who don’t mind roughing it a bit. Food is not very good in general inside the National Park, with poor choice and bad service. You should bring your own food for your entire stay. You could also eat in a restaurant next to the main road outside the park, although on returning you could be restricted by closing times or a herd of Asian Elephant…

Stewart Island, New Zealand: an obligatory destination for birders visiting NZ. Pelagic trips leave from here and boats can also take you to Ulva island. Prices range from 38-80€. From here you can arrange pelagic trips or get on a boat to the famous Ulva Island, where you can spend a morning or a day birding. Some species here are really difficult to track down on the mainland: Rifleman, Yellowhead, Sputh Island Saddleback, Yellow-crowned Parakeet, Stewart Island Weka and the Stewart Island Kiwi. On Stewart Island you can see Red-crowned Parakeet, Brown Creeper, Tomtit and South Island Kaka. Prices range from 32$ per person per shared room to 80$ for a double room. Neat, clean, peaceful with a good atmosphere, shared kitchen and bathrooms, bedrooms can be shared or private.

BUNKERS BACKPACKERS

Recommended by Maria Jose Valencia

South Africa: situated in Underberg, the principal town at the base of the Draknsberg mountains, and an ideal place from which to explore the Sani Pass (18km away) and to enter Lesotho. In nearby Himeville in winter months, there is a huge winter roost of Amur Falcon. This is a dream house, with exubernat gardensreplete with sugar feeders where you can watch various species of sunbird. The quality/ price ratio of the rooms is very good, with cosy rooms. Prices are around 25€ per person per night (2011). You can contract the services of a local birding guide (Stuart: ifo@birdsandbeyond.co.za) for tracking down special species in the area. You can safely park inside the area around the house. Although you can dine here there are also a good number of restaurants in the area.
