Good accommodation for the three of us. Great to have our own kitchen facilities. The owner replaced two of the lights in the unit that were flickering, and one that was not working. He did this immediately which was pleasing.

Our expectations weee high. They were not met. Probably we should stayed somewhere else. The new owners and their helping children were very nice but they would have to go a long way to meet some of our expectations.

Quick, easy and affordable.

I needed a quick cost effective place to stay on my travels from Wellington to Auckland as I had purchased a bike in Wellington and did not want to ride over night. The Fern Hotel provided just what was needed and were located perfectly.

This motel is clean and convenient. The hosts are very welcoming. The bed was a bit soft for our preference. Air conditioning is a big plus, and the small patio outside is excellent for breakfast, snacking, or a light meal

Good central location

Overnight stay during the week, very comfortable, clean, good dark curtains so no waking with daylight, on a busy road, but absolutely noise free, and completely surrounded by fences. Very friendly, helpful owners, would recommend.
