We had an excellent experience staying at The Fern & Thistle. A warm welcome by Matt.
The room was clean, warm, comfortable and so classy! We felt at home straightaway. The whole set up is generous: The hot pool, sauna, private bathroom and a good breakfast in the morning.
Very comfortable bed. Beautiful decor all through the homestead. The owners obviously have an amazing eye for detail.
A wonderful stay and highly recommended.

Great place to stay. Very clean and tidy plus very well furnished. The location was perfect. Communication was great and they were very friendly and helpful.
Offering luxury, self-contained accommodation in the small sea-side town of Kaka Point, this property is surrounded by an abundance of wildlife, living in their natural habitat, including Fur Seals,...
Rosebank lodge is a great spot.
Rooms well appointed and fresh and clean.
Staff friendly and helpful
Restaurant had a good range of meals for most, just didn't cater for dairy free group member.
Would highly recommend

Lovely little town!
Lovely little town! Well worth spending a day or two to check out all the natural attractions. The beaches in particular were rugged and secluded but relatively accessible. Would love to see it in the summer time!!

Balclutha is hardly a much sought destination but it is in a prime location to base yourself as you visit the Catlins and the ample attractions on its door step. The river in particular is underrated and provides great fishing and kayaking. The town itself sports most of the shops you expect as well as a supermarket and some great eateries. The hi-light of my trip was definitely staying at the historic Fern & Thistle which is just out of town and is definitely the hidden gem of Clutha.

Gorgeous vistas in the rural area, reminiscent of Lord of the Rings scenes. The locals are friendly and this is a nice place to stop when travelling. Highlights are the Bridge, walks along the Clutha River, and the rural views. The Raj Indian restaurant was really delicious, and the best coffee and cheese rolls are at Rosebank Cafe, south end of town.
The Fern and Thistle is located on a lovely quiet road a couple minutes drive outside of Balclutha. It was the perfect location for us to explore the area and to visit Dunedin (approx 1 hr drive) on a rainy day. The garden and house are large and beautiful, the house itself, the room and bathroom are in sync with the character of the house. Bed was super comfortable and breakfast had enough choices to get us going in the morning.
Was an amazing stay. We had a room change and instead of just putting us in a similar room they took thought and care to upgrade us into anointing rooms, and explained the change.
Easy check in and out, incredibly clean, with everything one would need for there stay in Balclutha! We stayed in 5 different accommodation on our trip and the highway motel was my favourite!
The hotel is old, but I felt we got good value for what we paid. The bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, the meal in their restaurant was very good. The kitchen facility and lounge were useful and readily available.
We used the hotel for two nights and it was in general very good. We thought there may be nose from neighbours but all quietened down early. I found the bed a little hard but not a serious issue. The hosts were great.
Super clean, quiet and very comfortable motel close to the town of Balclutha and the countryside. Good place to start for Catlins trip. Lovely host too. Would definitely return to this motel thank you.
Brand new, super clean, fabulous breakfast provided, loved the quality linen and towels.
Best place to stay in Balclutha. Joss was amazing with welcome text and fresh towels each day👍🌸
