Silver Fern has been renovated recently and the rooms are great. I actually got to see most of the rooms as the hostess tooks us around to look at the Maori Artwork in the rooms, so I can tell you that all the rooms are great. It was very quiet (we were at the back in Suite 22), it was... more

What a fantastic place to stay. The Silver Fern has clearly undergone a big refurbishment recently and I couldn't have been more pleased with our choice of hotel. I booked a 2 night package in an executive studio which included breakfast. The room was tastefully decorated with beautiful bed linens, a big comfy couch and a LCD TV and stereo... more

The new owners who took over early this year have made a huge difference to what was already a very good motel (see other reviews). When we stayed most of the rooms had been redecorated, re-carpeted and refurnished and they are now truly luxurious, ultra-high quality and spacious. Silver Fern is not the cheapest in town, but I rate value... more

I wasn`t intending to stop in Rotorua but as I was getting sleepy I pulled off into the Silver Fern rather than fall asleep at the wheel. Interrupting the staff during the Bledisloe cup Rugby on TV I expected to be given less than full attention but the staff were exceedingly friendly and courteous, making sure I got into one... more

Booked a weekend away at this motel, was supposed to be a romantic package, arrived to find that there was no flowers or cheese board in the room, it arrived 40 minutes after we did. Being the start of winter, yes it was cold, but the room was so cold, had to have the heater going all night, and it... more

We stayed here for 3 nights. This was our second stay, the first being three years ago. Quite by chance we were given the same room, so we were able to compare the two stays directly! The room (#20) was very good. It was on the upper floor and had a large lounge area, huge bathroom (with large, very deep... more

The Silver Fern is in a great location in Rotorua. The exterior of the inn is adorable and the staff is very helpful and kind. The rooms were clean, spacious, but quite dated. Our room had a new TV (and office has DVDs for rent) and a small kitchenette. The bathroom was also older looking and there is a back... more

We stayed at the Silver Fern for three nights in early December '08. The room was large, spotlessly clean and with an excellent Spa bath, the King sized bed was very comfy as well. Nothing seemed to be to much trouble, this included local restaurant recommedations (you have to try 'Relish'), to booking the local Maori trips and advising us... more

I had two nights here in October 08 and was very impressed. The studio was spotlessly clean and facilities were excellent value. The owners could not do enough and I enjoyed a hearty breakfast delivered to my room both mornings. If you wanted to eat in they had an arrangement with some of the local restaurants where your meal costs... more
