We had a fabulous stay, the property is magical oasis, the outdoor bath listening to the Morepork was very relaxing and the views are stunning, Definitely a 10/10
Such a beautiful place to stay, we enjoyed the house, garden and lovely extras like the outdoor bath. We also enjoyed the amazing back yard that is the Tararua forest park and Otaki river.
we love staying at Fern Cabin, this was a perfect way to spend our anniversary. As always the house was immaculate, and we love seeing the changes around the property each time we stay. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home and location :)
We absolutely loved our 2 night stay here. Such an incredible location with breathtaking views of the river and surrounding nature and bush. The whole property is so well set up and maintained beautifully. It was such a peaceful retreat being off grid for a couple of days. We’ll definitely be back :)
This place is an incredible achievement! My partner and I had a very peaceful stay for three nights. Absolutely breathtaking scenery and you can see there is a lot of effort going into making the house perfect.
A stunning place with beautiful views. We enjoyed relaxing, resetting and taking it all in. We will be back for sure, thank you for allowing us to explore your backyard, while having time to stop and pause for a while 😊
Three nights and four days of the most perfect quiet, sun and rain, watching the weather come in, bathing in the rain and off my solar fairylights, read a whole book, absolutely reset myself. Can’t wait for March when I can go back.
Highly recommend, 10/10.
