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.

If youre traveling to Queenstown, for the dark sky or Mt Cook it provides a roof over your head ...but you can sleep on a bed or the floor...it's about the same. All the beds are in need of new mattress or at the very least, pillow toppers. Also, the pillows have been well used for many years.. so if you come tired and aren't looking for a restful night but convenience...it'll do the job.
