After just coming out of 2 weeks in quarantine I wanted to treat myself to 2 night accommodation in a relatively nice apartment before moving onto my final destination . I chose the Fern as I had seen it being built having worked close by for a number of years.
When staying there I was actually quite disappointed:
Location in Wyndham Rd is actually very noisy with commercial traffic from about 5:30am
The external bedroom block out blind didn't work so I was wide away at 6am both nights.
I didn't see any special Covid cleaning as claimed. There were marks on the walls and other surfaces which shouldn't have been there. Considering the size of the apartment, the cleaning fee of $150 was huge.
The overall build quality of the apartments is very poor - loose electrical wires hanging outside the windows, gaps in the kitchen bench, ill fitting cupboard doors, intercom didn't always work, cheap furniture, ceiling fans didn't work, dead plants on the balcony etc. Two years after completion there still appear to be quite a number of basic build defects unresolved.
Dom and Sol were a pleasure to deal with with a high level of communication and seem to be aware that the build quality is poor (none of the dishwashers work in the building as they were installed wrongly).
I felt that for the standard of accommodation the nightly price of nearly $200 was very high and I was very disappointed in my stay.
