Fernlea Backpackers

BUG review
Fernlea is a small austere place on a hill above Kaka Point. It only has six beds; with twin bunks built into cosy little nooks they call dorms. The kitchen is worn and the furnishings are dated, but the views are incredible and everything is clean. Beds are comfortable, and they have loads of local information and advice. It is an inexpensive and cosy place to relax and explore the sights of Kaka Point.

This is such a cosy place, little house furnished with style and placed on a small hill in front of the ocean. Rooms ale small and nice, kitchen and living room were greatly equipped and I really enjoyed my morning tea on the terrace!
