We stayed for a dog show and the place was wonderful,it was just a pity the weather was so cold and wet.Would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay out of town.Also Eat Cafe in Fairlie is the place to go absolutely delicious food.

We had a lovely time staying in this classic new zealand farmhouse on a working farm. Nice new bathroom and well appointed kitchen, cosy living room with fireplace. Just 2 of us in our group but there was plenty of room for a family. Close to Fairlie for shops and the great Fairlie bakery and Lake Tekapo is under an hour away. Great value acommodation

The house has such a relaxing, incredible farm vibe. It’s comfortable and made us feel right at home. Pepper the dog greeted us every morning, accompanied by his friend, the hen.Thank you so much, Rachel and Henry!

Such a beautiful spot, host and locals were super friendly and easy to communicate with. The kitchen had all the necessary equipment, there was firewood in the fire place ready to go. The beds were super comfy and the shower was heaven after a week of hiking.Highly recommend

We loved our stay & the NZ rural farm experience. Hosts were so lovely & generous with their time answering our questions. Beds really comfy. Traditional style cottage/ farm house with cute vintage kitchen - well stocked with utensils etc. Working dogs close by, which we loved giving lots of pats. Also Peppa, the springer spaniel tour guide working dog :) - she was the best!
