The stay at Five Ferns was a highlight of our trip and is absolutely recommended. A beautiful view, a great place to relax and enjoy. Fiona is a great host, very accommodating.

We absolutely loved our stay at Five Ferns. Fi and Heath were amazing to deal with and the property was extremely well maintained & clean. Couldn't recommend more highly, we'll definitely book again!
Holly
Beautiful home, lovely hosts. 10 minute walk into town, coming back takes a little longer (uphill). Sauna was great. So many birds! Enchanting.
