Cannot recommend Five Ferns highly enough - house has been very thoughtfully designed and built to a very high quality. Warm and comfortable and set in a bush section with complete privacy, with everything you need for your stay. Fi and Heath (who manage the place) extremely helpful and friendly ... able to give us early check-in/late check-out and a good initial local's run-down of the village. Stayed two nights/three days with two teenagers - largely separate upstairs/downstairs split was great for allowing everyone room to do their thing. Special mention for the sauna + shower with forest view ... made the stay that much more memorable. Only point to note is that access to the house from the road is up a set of garden stairs (maybe 30 in total?) and that Oban is about an 8-10 minute walk away, so if anyone has mobility issues this should be factored in. But if you can stay here, I would wholeheartedly recommend that you do.

The house is brand new and fully equipments for all our need. Luxurious experience to stay in there. Fiona and Health offered lots of help. It will be good if the sauna room have some sensor lights on. The rest of the house is perfect! Best accommodation in Steward island!

Such a lovely house! This was the perfect place for my friends and I to have a really relaxing time. The views are stunning and the location makes you feel like you are truly nestled away in the beautiful island bush. The ambiance and overall feel of the property is stylish but warm and welcoming. We loved how close it was to the main township of Oban and to the start of many tracks and trails - knowing it was the place we would return to after our days out and about was such a treat! The house itself had everything we needed and more - made us feel really special to be honest. The beds are comfy and linen so fresh and clean. There is a TV in the lounge upstairs but we often found ourselves just enjoying the view from the deck. We had really great weather, but it was extra lovely having a fireplace to keep cosy. We can't wait to come back!!
