The super clean modernised freshly renovated room and en suite were testimony that you should never judge a book by its cover. This white oblong antique building represents its age as does the rich historical first floor containing the restaurant bar and fabulous staircase to the upper guest suites which leap straight into the 2020s. The towels are fluffy and white. The shower one of the nicest in NZ and the bed comfy and everything a s very clean.

The cleaning oroducts used are a little overpowering. Something without perfume would be better and prevent sinus.

Great location* Value for money *Water pressure A++ *Comfortable bed & pillows *Safe & secure ACCOMODATION UPSTAIRS | BAR & RESTAURANT DOWNSTAIRS - a great facility to mix & mingle with staff, locals & guests staying or just relaxing by yourself. A great stay, owner is awesome & we were able to check in before 2pm, location fantastic as New world a couple of metres near and accomodation right in the township. Bonus car boot market across road on Sundays. Would certainly stay again!

Everything was fine & what we needed. Yes you can hear people if they are talking in the hallway but it’s not a major problem & accomodation is upstairs & that wasn’t a problem either!

Staff were lovely helpful welcoming when first arrived

Not a lot of takeaway shops were open was like a Sunday to us but hard with kids to find suitable restaurant to eat at Lil hard with a child in a wheelchair only access was through the bar awkward when arriving at night to not disturb other patrons no wheelchair access to accommodation

A continental breakfast was supplied which was excellent value for money . The staff were very friendly and helpful and showed us up to our room , checked we were able to get into our room with our key-card. Then showed us our shared lounge, kitchen and bathroom facilties.

Could have been a couple of extra pillows available in our room !

The room was clean and cosy, great staff. We extended our stay 2 extra nights Also a note to the cleaners who did an excellent job. You might find 2 bottles of wine in the fridge for you to go with the Magnum's.

Only thing I would suggest is a bigger bin in the kitchen. Other than that, our stay at Fern Lodge was perfect.

Comfortable bed and clean room. Basic but adequate shared kitchen facilities. Shared kitchen spotlessly clean.

Unfortunately a contractor started water blasting exterior of the building 2 of the 3 mornings we were there. Before he even started he had his radio blasting out so he could hear it over the waterblaster. Not very considerate to guests.

The location is not too far away from most of the attractions which is great. 15~20 mins drive to CBD and Mangorei Track Trailhead which are the most popular places to go.

Would be great if hair shampoo is provided. That said, body soaps are available to use.

Breakfast food and drinks where provided .. however we did not have brekky there But Beautifully presented and recommended

i would think a fluffy duvet inner that is placed under the bottom sheet on top of the mattress would definitely help with the cheaper room bed stays ... lovely beds but bit hard. i was looking for a clothes holder as was my partner to place our clothing upon when we had a bath ... so that would be nice to have to keep clothing dry and off the floors.

Great service by staff during our late check-in and meal times. Bathrooms were spacious and clean, with bathtubs too. Food at the restaurant exceeded our expectations, generous portion sizes, great flavours for a small town lodge. Convenient location if you're planning to explore Egmont National Park.

Room size could be a bit bigger but understandable as it is a budget double room. Easy to heat up as the room is on the smaller side.

The location was perfect right in the main town centre. Parking was easy at the rear of the property. The staff were great, the bed so comfy and the shower was great too . The food at the restaurant was fantastic.

No complaints here :)
