"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."

"Nice price and very cozy room. We had a great night there. "

"The owner John was very personable and knowledgeable and gave advice about more travel. Feeding the alpacas and sheep was a unique experience. The sunset was beautiful and peaceful. Did not book breakfast but owner was accommodating and flexible and added it. Good continental breakfast, good choices. Liked the heated towel rung in bathroom. "

"Great location, quiet and great off street parking."

"It was a beautiful and quiet get-away. Wonderfully stocked kitchen with everything you need to bale or cook. The host really cares about the place and it shows. Will happily stay there again in the future!"

"Close to venue that I was competing at "

"The owners were very lovely - friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, updated and tidy. It was also warm at night and not noisy from traffic at all. Cleaned and fresh every day. The motel is in a great location and I would highly recommend it!"
