Loved our stay
We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment on the 3rd floor. The view was amazing. Our room was very clean and had plenty of space for 4 of us. Super handy to have two bathrooms and off street parking. Lovely friendly staff with super easy check in. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again!

The only real fault was the central heating/cooling wasn't working in the unit we were given. There was a plug in heater that was very noisey. The underfloor heating in the bathroom worked but not in the main lounge/bedroom. Unfortunately it was quite cold during our stay. For such a nice new unit it was disappointing. There was a portable fan in the unit as well so obviously AC not working as well. That's why 4 out of 5. Location was great for event we were attending.

Great location and good for families
We enjoyed our stay as a family of four, our kids being 8 and 4 years old.
Fernz is nice and tidy and our room was well appointed with h everything we needed.
Parking was free and very convenient with plenty of space under each respective building.
The area is safe and has heaps of eating options.

Excellent modern motel
Great stay in roomy apartment. Felt welcomed from the moment we checked in. The apartments are modern and roomy and had all the amenities we needed. The staff went the extra mile with matress toppers for my daugther who had just had an operation and needed a softer bed. Thanks for the stay! Would definately come back again.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was perfect and fit our needs, but could use a slightly larger kitchen trash bin. The neighborhood was fun to explore with a lot of good local eateries and wine bars. I even enjoyed a nice haircut at Stylish Barber a couple of doors away. If you prefer something outside the city this is it.

Great find for a weekend event bringing us to AKL from out of town. Staff super friendly room clean, bathroom modern with underfloor tiled heating. Found it strange about the room’s heating source that we were given an oil heater. With its short cord, oil heater made it difficult to heat the room at night safely without being close to bed or a trip hazard in middle of night. Took a while to heat up room also.
Would totally stay again. Thanks team FERNZ

Lovely apartment in Birkenhead
Great apartment with quality ammenities. Loved having a washer and dryer after being on the road traveling around NZ. Great space inside the apartment and the balcony was an added bonus. Great location-out of Auckland but we found Birkenhead to have plenty of food options and a good supermarket. Would definitely stay again.

This property is a light at the end of a chaotic week of accommodation. I will definitely be staying here again when I visit auckland. Price, convenience utilities absolutely perfect. The only thing missing was a hair dryer but I may have missed that. Everything was to perfection even the coconut oil soap. My fav.
