We enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect and the accommodation was well equipped. We enjoyed making a fire on the cool nights and sitting in the back yard after a day of hiking.

Fairlie retreat
Paulines home was so warm and comfortable, with everything you could pissibly want. The beds were super comfy and the fire kept us very toasty. To top it off, there was Buster the friendly neighbours cat. He visited everyday and totally owned it.

Quiet Family Getaway
We had a lovely stay with a home away from home feel, cosy fireplace and warm comfy beds. Nice selection of books and board games. Almost too convenient to the Bakehouse and famous pies. Scenic views of mountains. Excellent communication from hosts and easy check in/out.

Perfect spot!
We really loved this neat cottage, located a stone's throw from the pretty village of Fairlie. It was perfectly clean, cozy, and welcoming, with everything we needed. The fresh raspberries and sweet peas to pick were the icing on the cake! We'd stay here again in a heartbeat. Great central location for day trips to Timaru or cruising the beautiful backroads of Canterbury. Allan and Pauline were great communicators, very friendly and supportive. Buster the neighbourhood cat was a nice addition too.

Great home in a wonderful small town
House was big. Nice yard in town. Several places to eat locally. Clear instructions. Only issues were lots of flies and couches were a little dusty, otherwise It was a wonderful place to stay for a few days.

Everything was perfect for us down to the fragrant sweet peas blooming that the owners said we could cut and enjoy. The owners communicated very quickly to answer our questions and we had no problem checking in or finding anything.

Beautful home
The best "bach" we encountered. This is a home, not a guest house. Instructions to manage your stay are clear and simple. Easy access to many attractions. Fairlie is a fun quaint town. Our hosts were quick to communicate. What a great residence. BTW the bed was wonderfully firm and the furniture was comfortable.
