Things to do nearby
a few minutes away
Auckland Zoo, MOTAT and Western Springs Park are all about five minutes from The Fern — and Western Springs Stadium hosts some of Auckland's biggest outdoor concerts.

Set right beside Western Springs Park — allow a good half-day.
The Museum of Transport and Technology: trams, planes, trains and hands-on exhibits.
A lakeside loop with plenty of birdlife — an easy morning walk or run.
Coming up: Foo Fighters, 22 Jan 2027 and Laneway, 21 Feb 2027.
A quick drive from The Fern, with reserved parking waiting when you get back.
Two queen ensuite bedrooms — ideal for two couples or a group of friends.
Start with a walk around the Western Springs lake, spend the afternoon at the zoo or MOTAT, then head into Kingsland or Grey Lynn for dinner — our Mount Albert guide has our favourite spots. Heading to a game instead? See accommodation near Eden Park.
Travelling with kids? Families are welcome — we provide a cot and a high chair, and we're happy to help with anything else that makes travelling with little ones easier (we're parents too). Please note the stairs are steep and there's no stair gate, so toddlers will need close supervision.
Best rate guaranteed when you book direct — no platform fees.
