Fern Lodge — Hotel in North Island

My wife and I recently stayed at Fern Lodge. We received a very warm welcome from Ray who was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Coromandel and New Zealand in general. ||We were particularly struck by the personalised, written welcome sign on arrival. ||Ray provided some amazing advice and historical information about Coromandel and New Zealand in general. In particular, we took him up on his recommendation to visit a local quaint railway. It turned out to be an amazing trip and well worth the visit. ||Our room was set against the backdrop of beautiful forestry which added to the atmosphere of peace and tranquility. ||The room was tastefully designed and included all amenities that one would expect during a vacation. ||It was clear that a lot of attention to detail was taken into consideration when designing the rooms.

There is a pub on the way into town (The Coromandel Hotel, I think) which does great food - be warned HUGE portions. We had a steak sandwich and kumara chips and it was more than enough for two of us. I thoroughly recommend Fern Lodge and would go back in...
