Luxury Bathing in Nature’s Embrace
Picture this: soaking in a warm, fresh hot bath, nestled among native bush with the sound of tūī, bellbirds, and kererū serenading you. At Fern & Feather Retreat, we bring you a truly unique outdoor bathing experience just a stone’s throw from Invercargill.
““The most amazing relaxing place to unwind. Watching the tūī, kererū and bell birds while relaxing in the hot baths were divine. Well done Gretchen, this haven is beautiful.”
