"So amazong to find a place our extended family could stay all together to celebrate a 75th Birthday. We loved the hot tub and space to spread out in, many happy memories were created enjoying the area."
"Absolutely loved our stay at the Fern & Thistle Hotel in Balclutha! The historic charm of the house is beautifully preserved, with a stunning vintage garden full of old roses and unique plants. The amenities are outstanding—from the cozy dry sauna in a barrel cabin to the luxurious hot tubs (one in the room and a massive one in the garden). The countryside views add a peaceful touch, and the complimentary drinks and local beer were a generous bonus. Our room had a super king-size bed and Netflix on the TV, making it the perfect spot to unwind. The owner is warm, polite, and clearly takes pride in every detail. A truly special place—highly recommend!
Steam curls in the garden air,
roses dream in silence there.
Barrel sauna, warm and still,
country hush on every hill.
Golden beer and velvet bed,
gentle words the owner said.
In this house, the past is near- peace and beauty, crystal clear."
"We had a fantastic time here. Lovely clean house and a wonderful location to explore the beach, rock pools, playground and local cafe. We loved our time so much we plan to come back in the near future. "

"Jill is a lovely host, and presents the place beautifully. Everything was beautiful & well cared for.This was the top of our accomodation price range & with Owaka's remoteness, seemed a bit steep. "
