The Chalet is just about as perfect a base as you can hope for to explore the beautiful Coromandel peninsula. This three bedroom, beautifully constructed chalet, came to feel like home for us during our recent 4 week stay. The place is so well appointed with a nice kitchen and everything you need for self-catering. But what you’ll really love is the genuine friendliness of hosts Genevieve and Ray. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, but, in truth, there was very little to add to this lovely place. The Chalet is nestled in native bush, yet within easy walking distance of the delightful town of Coromandel. After 4 weeks (escaping the Canadian winter) we began to feel like ‘locals’. Everyone is so friendly. The views from Fern Lodge, over the Hauraki Gulf (and especially the sunsets) are what memories are made of. We just can’t say enough good things about these lovely folks. Do yourself a favor and book some time at Fern Lodge - you won’t regret it!
