Okay
It's classed as 4 star. But it's not. People at reception didn't know what they were doing.

Quiet spot
Great access to a lovely walkway for running in the morning. HUGE paknsave nearby and easy to get to. Good location, and despite being near a main road was really quiet from road noise.

Good accommodation for the three of us. Great to have our own kitchen facilities. The owner replaced two of the lights in the unit that were flickering, and one that was not working. He did this immediately which was pleasing.

Quick, easy and affordable.
I needed a quick cost effective place to stay on my travels from Wellington to Auckland as I had purchased a bike in Wellington and did not want to ride over night. The Fern Hotel provided just what was needed and were located perfectly.

Nice motel approx. 5 minute drive to/from Napier.
The owners were very nice and accomodating. The unit was tidy and had everything we needed. The separate room could be closed off by a sliding door.
