“After the landslide at the Mount, the Hot Pools are currently closed. So I thought I'd check out other places in the area. Always known about Fernland but never went. We went 30 minutes before closing, service was amazing, and she was quite weirded out that we were coming just before closing. We ended up paying the $18 for just the main pool, and while it's wasn't heated well, and also a very shallow pool, the experience and relaxation was still really good. I'd definitely come back here.”

“A lovely spot to unwind and enjoy the hot pool. That said, the venue is showing its age… especially the changing rooms, which are in need of modernisation. With a bit of investment and refurbishment, this could easily become a top-notch facility. Fingers crossed for an update soon!”

“Hey there guys, so this place is great to just get away from home and to chill. It has a quaint communal kitchen with an over sized kitchen sink, dinky shower which is half insulated but pretty cool . The pools are great for the body and is open late. It would be even greater if the pool was open earlier in the morning for the campers to refresh in the pool. Be careful coming down the driveway it's pretty steep. All and all this is our 3rd trip here within 6 months as we live an hour over the Kaimai's Otherwise awesome 👌”
