### The Fern & Thistle Luxury Accommodation

4/10 Poor

"The hotel itself was nice and the staff were friendly, but the room description was misleading. It did not clearly state that the bathroom is not attached to the room. The toilet is down the hall and up a flight of stairs, and the bath/shower is in a separate room down another hallway. Having to leave the room and walk through common areas to use the bathroom, especially at night, was very inconvenient. This setup should be clearly stated in the listing so guests know what to expect before booking. Breakfast was disappointing. There were 4 types of dry cereal and two types of bread. There was no fruit, yogurt, eggs, meats or cheeses. "

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the best area to stay in Wharetoa?

> The Wharetoa village centre is small but well-appointed, with a collection of local shops, cafes, and restaurants primarily situated along Main Street. This area is the hub for local life and provides easy access to the lake. Many accommodations here offer views of Lake Wharetoa and the surrounding hills.
> 
>   
> Couples often find the lakefront area particularly appealing. Staying right by Lake Wharetoa means direct access to water activities like kayaking or paddleboarding. Many properties in this area have private jetties or easy beach access, offering a relaxed setting with beautiful natural scenery right on your doorstep.
> 
>   
> For those looking for a more secluded yet still convenient option, the areas just outside the main village, particularly along the roads leading to the national park, offer larger properties and a quieter experience.

### When is the best time to go to Wharetoa?

> During these months, you'll experience warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours, which are ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the Otago region. The summer months of December, January, and February are particularly popular, offering the best conditions for swimming, hiking, and enjoying the coastal scenery.
> 
>   
> For those interested in fishing, particularly for salmon, the period from November to March is prime. The Wharetoa River and surrounding coastal areas are well-known for their salmon runs, offering excellent opportunities for anglers.
> 
>   
> If you prefer to avoid the peak summer crowds but still want good weather, late spring (November) and early autumn (March-April) are excellent choices.
