Fern Tree Hideaway, Lower Hutt

This is a grand and convenient location that offers seclusion and peaceful accommodations outside the city but is easily accessible via the short ferry ride across the Bay from Wellington. The hosts, Robyn and Roger, are very friendly and accommodating and provide convenient amenities within the suite as well as excellent advice on local attractions. It is a bit of a hike up the hill but they provide a cable car for those who wish to ride and for your luggage. We love waking to the sound of bell birds instead of traffic.
