Fern cottage is a delightful place to stay. It is accurately depicted on the internet- it is as clean, bright and attractive as the photos suggest. The verandah looks over a fern gully with tall trees and the ocean in the distance- a serene view and enjoyable place to sit and relax. The bird life is fabulous. The kitchen is fully equiped - you could bake a cake if you wanted to! Very comfortable bed. The home is well positioned in Wye river- in a quiet corner- high enough for a view and sense of space and privacy, but close enough for the stroll down to the beach and fabulous General Store (gourmet food and friendly service). The owners left a welcome note and bottle of wine and there is a library of good books, various board games and all you would need for kids (cot, high chair, change mat, toys, children's books). We had 13 nights at Fern cottage and were reluctant to leave.
