Just got back from new zealand from almost 2 months vacation. We stayed at more than fifteen 4 star hotels across NZ north and south islands. My wife and I rated this one - the worst one. Very dated facility for shower, cooking, --- etc, and noisy during the night. We suggest to stay away from this hotel. Good part:... More

We picked this motel based on TripAdvisor reviews and its reasonable cost. We were not disappointed. Rooms had obviously been renovated to a good standard with easy on the eye smart furnishings. Have never seen a stainless steel shower base before; functional & easy to clean i suppose, but a bit sterile. Great nights sleep and incidentally, the TV (quite... More

We stayed here for one night while we were in New Zealand. Our room was little dated but clean. It was conveniently located for a majority of the wineries. Its a little way from the main Napier high street etc, just a few minutes drive but still a good location. We both had a great nights sleep here. The receptionist... More

They enjoyed swimming in the pool and playing on the playground and our room was upgraded for no extra charge The outdoor area was really nice, we sat outside in the sun and had dinner on the picnic table. There was enough room outside our room for... More

The Fern Motel in Napier is great and sets the standard for all the others. It is definitely the best I have stayed in this trip, Within its price range (or even beyond it) I... More

The Fern Motel, is in the latter stages of a complete makeover. What was once a grotty forgotten establishment, is being transformed into a very comfortable place to stay. With a limited budget the owner/operator has upgraded the units to a high standard, with new kitchens and bathrooms fixtures and fittings. There are all new appliances also. All units are... More
