What our guests are saying

  • Great place to stay. Beautiful accommodation, neat and clean. Hosts Kirsty and Colin were extremely helpful and friendly.

    Tyron

  • Kirsty and her cottages were lovely! She was very communicative and quickly responded to all my questions before and during our stay. We were staying over Christmas and she also went above and beyond and dropped off a gift bag of sparkling wine and goodies!

    Emily

  • This was a great place with the most beautiful surroundings. Kirsty was very responsive and offered support when needed. I would highly recommend this stay, not only for location but also for the amazing service provided by Kirsty, the host

    Conor

  • Stunning area. Location is brilliant, feels like you live in the forest. Kristy is an amazing host and goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. Really enjoyed our stay.

    Brent

  • We had a wonderful family stay at this cozy cottage in the woods. The peaceful surroundings and rustic ambiance made it the perfect as our first place in New Zealand. The kids loved exploring the nearby playgrounds, and we enjoyed staying outside the city but very close to all infrastructure. The owner was very responsive and helped with any issue. Highly recommended for a relaxing nature stay!

    Vasilii

  • Absolutely amazing place to stay in between homes and our little dog was no problem being with us. So quiet and listening and watching the Tuis just beautiful. Colin and Kirsty are such lovely people so kind and caring. We would definitely stay there again.

    Shelley

  • We stayed at Fernhill Cottages during our transition from Christchurch to Auckland. We are a family including two dogs and what a fabulous place to stay with your fur babies. The cottages are cosy and welcoming and offer everything you should need for a very comfortable stay. The park like grounds are so peaceful and full of birdsong and a wonderful place to walk your dog or for your cat to roam and play. We have very fond memories of staying at Fernhill and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it. Thank you so much Colin and Kirsty :)

    Karen

  • Fernhill Cottages were a perfect find for us. We sold our house, hadn't brought our next home and needed accommodation for almost 3 months - with a dog! It was great to find something so close to where we previously lived and where we worked, but to be able to have our dog with us was the biggest thing. Colin and Kirsty are excellent hosts and ensured that we had everything we needed. It's a magical spot and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again or recommend it.
