About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Fairlie Family Home

When my Grandparents built this 3 bedroom home it was the hub for family visits. We are excited to offer our recently renovated holiday home to you to enjoy, as much as we do.

The home and grounds are spacious with views of Mt Dobson from the patio, lounge and 2 of the bedrooms. The house has open plan kitchen, dining and lounge perfect for families and larger groups.

Situated off the main road, we are a 2 minute walk to the supermarket, cafes, playground and shops.

The house is easy to find. It comes fully furnished and ready for up to 6 guests with two queen beds and a twin room.

There is plenty of off street parking and two car ports (not suitable for tall vehicles with roof racks or boxes).

Heating is with a heat pump in the living areas, and heaters in the bedrooms. All the beds have electric blankets.

Please note that the wood fire is only for when there are power cuts in winter and Teresa will provide kindling and wood when needed.

Perfect House

The house was spacious, very clean and very well appointed (crisp white sheets and modern appliances)with everything you might need. Room for the boat and a couple of cars and close to town, It was very quiet and peaceful. Highly recommended as a great place to base your self in the MacKenzie Country area.

This property is an older home which has been tastefully renovated. The kitchen was older, but extremely functional and fully equipped. The facilities in the home were great - everything you need for your home away from home. Great location - close to shops in main street - the pizzas at the pub and the pies at the bakery were delicious. Only 1/2 hour drive to Lake Tekapo, 1 hour to Lake Pukaki, and 1 hour 40 min to Aoraki/Mt Cook. Overall, great holiday home - highly recommended.
