Seaview from upstairs. Underbench fridge with access to freezer in the bike storage space downstairs. Free netflix, wifi, and large DVD library. And a Google Chromecast so you can cast TVNZ programmes from your tablet. laptop or phone. Fern Arch cottage shares its location with Kupe Cottage which sleeps 4.

Quirky, but comfortable.
Very comfortable. Had everything I needed. Great location. Do read the fine print - (very) low ceiling in lounge/bedroom - and the stairs would be challenging if you are not particularly mobile. However, I would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Pretty perfect!
The short steep stair access and low ceilings are certainly real but we (80 and 73) managed just fine. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the location, spaciousness and kitchen outfitting were great...which made for a very nice 3 night stay--much of which was wet and cold! Thank you

Exactly as advertised. The stairs were a great challenge for the hip replacement, I came away with a good functioning hip. Learnt to ride my bike again. Enjoyed the bike trail plus the wee restaurant on the corner. The low ceiling caused the 6 footer a few adverse reactions but he got used to it, All in all a great holiday.

What a neat place
It was really nice to walk in and fine a cosy home for our 2 nights stay. Well equipped kitchen and everything was well arranged / thoughtful touches. So close to the beach and the coffee shop - there was so much to do and see - eg the seal colonies. We’ll stay again. Thanks

Good location, poor layout
I thought this property would be quirky but it was just shoddy. The stairs felt unsafe, it had a hemmed in feeling and was really stuffy with no nice windows to look out. The furnishings were really ugly and tatty. I wouldn't recommend this as a place to stay with children under 5 or if you are taller than 165cm. The location is good and it was clean. The cafe around the corner is a greta place to eat.

All was good, some aspects a bit quirky and may not suit everyone. In particular the sloping lower ceiling and the TV set up. Thanks Alistair

Cozy stay, and Netflex on wet days
It was my 2nd stay, this time with my 2 young grandsons, and they enjoyed its uniqueness in comparison to other holiday homes. We loved the Netflix, and undercover carpark on the wet days.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is quite quirky and fun. It's in a beautiful area, close to a restaurant/cafe and close to the Westport Golf course. The host let us take spinach from the garden...a real bonus. Just be aware that the steps up to the loft are more like a step ladder than a stair case!!

A cosy, warm cottage for a much needed R&R. The bed was comfy and the mixture of modern and traditonal decor blended in well together.
