“Delightful "Tree House" surrounded by nature. Spacious and comfortable.”
+First of all it was a little difficult to find! The Sat-nav took us to a precise spot in a housing area but we could not any property with that house number. I re-read the directions sent and then it was obvious that there was a gravel track leading up from the exact spot the sat-nav had indicated. There is a postbox there with the correct number on but that can only be seen easily once on the track. A sign here would help! The property itself is a fair way up a single track road but we only ever met one other vehicle going up or down that required some delicate manoeuvring. Now to the property - it really is a delightful escape being blissfully quiet and surrounded by trees, birds and....alpacas which roam freely around. Breakfast, of a sort, was provided. We found eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, butter, jam, some fruit and bread. It was just about possible to rustle up some muesli by mixing granola, Oats and Coco-pops! We ended up buying more bread ourselves. Once we had adjusted to the quirks, the place itself was a delight being very spacious and comfortable and even having a distant sea view. We should have stayed one more day if we had realised that visiting Abel Tasman park invol

“A comfortable and well-appointed place to stay within minutes of nearby Nelson City.”
+We followed the clear instructions for accessing the Cottage from the street entrance via the long narrow steep driveway, which was not a problem for us. The Cottage was very spacious, clean and well-appointed. Breakfast was superb and very generous quantities too, for our two-night stay. Great views across Tasman Bay to the Mount Arthur Range from the deck. Alpaca and sheep in the paddock below, and kereru and tui in the trees added further character.

“A Dreamy Cottage and True Relaxation Oasis”
+The cottage was an absolute dream. From the very first minute, we felt completely at home and almost didn’t want to leave. The spacious veranda offered fantastic views, and the living and dining area with large windows was beautifully cozy and well designed. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully furnished. The breakfast utensils and extras were excellent, fresh sourdough bread was a real highlight. We also loved the sheep and alpacas in the garden, which brought us so much joy. The laundry facilities were very convenient and the bathtub with a view, fireplace, and BBQ made the stay even more special. The owners were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We truly wished we could have stayed longer. This cottage is a perfect relaxation oasis and a place we highly recommend.

“We are in awe of the paradise you’ve created here. Thankyou for sharing your corner of the world.”
+Nestled beneath the trees and just steps from the sea, your tranquil slice of paradise, is a gentle kind of magic. We’re deeply grateful for the memories created here and for the generosity and care woven into every thoughtful detail. Your homemade bread, locally made Pics Peanut Butter, and thoughtful condiments were such a beautiful expression of care. We’ll carry these memories with us long after we leave. We are beyond grateful for your kindness and beautiful sense of peace you have created here within the trees. 💚🕊💚.

“An idyllic location”
+The cottage was clean and quiet and in an idyllic location surrounded by trees up a hill. It was extremely well appointed and we wanted for nothing. The breakfast provisions were plentiful and the sourdough bread was lovely. The bed was particularly comfortable. Beryl instructions to find the place were very clear and she is really proactive and responsive. We would have no hesitation in staying in Fern Cottage when we return to the area.
