Canā€™t review Fernleaf

Didnā€™t actually stay at Fernleaf, was offered an ā€œupgradeā€ at Ambassador Thermal Motel when collecting key. Perhaps the Fernleaf might have been better, although it was very convenient for town and eateries.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
On a winters day it was the warmth of the unit that impressed my most, sooo comfortable - and I could adjust the thermostat if wanted. Everything I needed was there, I slept well, car parked right outside, couldn't hear the neighbours and for the first time I experienced Netflix, so did a binge watch. Fridge even had a freezer. Although dated, it was very clean which was one of my main wants and all facilities normally used for basic needs were there. It was a great base for a couple of days of peace and relaxation. Thank you!

The property was a convenient location. It was very basic but good value for money for a one night stay. The room was extremely basic didnā€™t have a sofa to sit in the living area had to sit on the bed. The bed in the living area was broken. However the property was clean.

Room was spacious and tidy especially for price. I assume it was shared hot water and the hot water was all gone when I went to use it. Having to go to another location a few km away for check in is also a bit inconvenient. Surely a there must be a better option. Digital check in?

I liked how this accommodation was central and handy to a lot of facilities. The room had everything we needed, bed was a bit hard, but that's just my opinion. and the shower wasn't hot I didn't like how above us were very noisy. I could hear TV, talking and running around late at night. I was also surprised to see ants everywhere, all over the kitchen and dining table.
