“Great stay for relaxation and large families”

Everything was setup for a family. All appliances were in great condition. Shout out to the property cleaners who keep this property to a high standard. I appreciated the kitchen having a good amount of cutlery, dishes, large pots etc to cook for a large family.

Great place. Had everything and was very clean and comfortable

Loved this house! Felt like we were staying in the forest. It was the perfect location, close to town and access to the glacier.

“We can’t wait to come back for a longer stay next time.”

It was so spacious yet very homely and clean

“Spacious place, great kitchen and facilities and able to look out from all angles onto the garden”

They had so much space and felt enveloped with trees and birds etc We desperately needed an electric toothbrush charger and Mel had one! Lifesaver 👍 My bathroom has a bath which was just wonderful and you just looked out onto the greenery, very nice indeed

“Peaceful stay in spacious house surrounded by greenery.”

Fantastic location. Easy walking distance to town and restaurants. Quiet location with green views from every room. Great communication from the host about keys and when we could access the property. House was very well equipped with cooking equipment, utensils, crockery etc and had salt, pepper and olive oil. Air conditioner in living area worked well on both heat and cool settings. Lounge area was lovely to relax in, especially on one day where it was raining heavily. Aside from some smaller issues, we really enjoyed our stay here.

“An exceptional and wonderful stay with great memories.”

The Ferns Hideaway is a hidden gem. Secluded but right there in town. It had the best facilities we have ever seen in such homestays - the kitchen has everything literally. Clean and so very comfortable. I would recommend this property to all friends & family without hesitation. Wish our stay was longer. The owner Mel is extremely responsive and gave excellent suggestions for sightseeing & food.

“Great stay in a quiet location but close to town.”

Lovely quiet spot but only 10 mins walk into town. House was spacious, clean and comfortable and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

“Great Property. Great value for money.”

It was spacious, clean and well equipped. It was private and only a short walk from the town. Plenty of hot water for showers. Nice outdoor decking area. It had a nice feel to it amongst all the ferns and other vegetation. Communication with Mel was great. It seemed really good value for money and I would genuinely recommend this property
