Based on Eco Living the resort offers a lot but removes you from so much with no TV in the room and limiting the Wifi to the main lobby and restaurant areas for daytime use it gives you the opportunity to explore other avenues of entertainment.

From Fern Eco Resort you can put your walking shoes on and take a 7km walk through the forest, there’s a shorter track also. As dogs guide you along the trail you’ll have companionship. Fern Eco Resort has serval dogs that were once strays and now serve as loyal members of the team here at the lodge. Their calm nature is adorable and there were a couple of them that I would love to have taken home.
