It wa clean and the young guy on reception was great. It had a lot of road noise and a very uncomfortable bed with awful sheets that almost felt like plastic

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.

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.
