Bega Valley - Fernmark Inn

Fusion is perhaps the best word to describe the Fernmark Inn on the Sapphire Coast (Bega Valley). It’s a fusion of aesthetic luxury with a tranquil harmony. It’s also a fusion of cultures.

Each of the four rooms within the guest house evokes a particular region - Africa, India, Thailand and the Middle East. The cultures are depicted not only by the décor but by the very construction and shape of the room.

All rooms lead to a lounge & a small reading space (Complimentary Wireless Broadband Internet available).  A shared kitchen space allows you to be self-contained too. There is an outdoor barbeque and picnic area. 

We are on 90 acres of bush with walking trails and the Wadbilliga National Forest is just 5 minutes away. You can canoe your day away. Then come back for a massage, reflexology, and/or Reiki treatment - all available on site. 

The entire guesthouse can be rented out for a friends reunion (special discounts apply) or just to meet halfway after going all the way at Midsumma or Mardi Gras!!

Fernmark is lesbian owned so you can be sure all the special touches are there!! You will revel in the special sounds of the bush and comfort of Fernmark.
