Family-friendly holiday rentals in Fairlie

We had the most relaxing weekend. It was a group of 4 mums and it was a beautiful stay. We felt so at home and everything was provided. The fire was lit and Julie greeted us at the door and welcomed us in. They also stoked up our fire wood and set up the fire for us the second day aswell once we arrived back from the pools. It was so wonderful. Highly recommend!

We loved this peaceful, spotless refuge while on grandparent duty. Deb and James were friendly hosts and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed hearing about local amenities such as the outstanding Opuke hot pools! Thank you.

Great place, clean and as seen on pictures. Great host, very responsive and accommodating! Thank you David for hosting us :)

Lovely, cozy house with unique architectural design. Had a really nice time in Lake Tekapo and Simon was so attentive. We even got to see the Southern Lights from the hill behind.

Great stay! Tania’s place is in a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood—super quiet and relaxing. The room was very clean, and it’s just about 45 minutes from the Mount Cook area, which was perfect for me. Tania was super kind and even reminded me about the hot tub—it’s tucked away in its own private spot under the stars, and honestly, it was exactly what I needed. Highly recommend!

Ian and Tia were very loving hosts and attentive to whatever we needed. The cottage is fully equipped to spend a few relaxing days there.

Debbie's place was really good, it had everything we needed and more. she was always responsive. the beds were cosy, bathrooms were clean and amenities were more than we required. thank you Debbie.

Great place to stay whilst visiting mt hutt! The house is everything is states and super cosy. Robyn was very helpful, would definitely stay again :)

Such a beautiful home, you can definitely see how a real family in NZ upbringing close to nature, plenty of memories. Such a warm and sweet family. The fireplace and stag head definitely adds a lot of character to home. The rain shower felt amazing, and the bath tub with view definitely melts away your sore body and feet after a long hike. The view of the mountain really breathtaking. The kitchen is very well equipped and the fridge is big enough for a family. We stay for 3 nights and really enjoyed that we took a day off just to stay home and just chilling. At night with clear sky you get to see the Milky Way, shooting stars and even aurora! Definitely one of our unforgettable highlight in NZ trip!

This home is in a beautiful and serene setting. It was about 1.5h from Christchurch airport and was the perfect antidote to the craziness of flying. At night, the only thing we could hear was the breeze and the gentle rain. I’d love to stay for a week. Annie was incredibly friendly and the welcome basket with homemade granola was tops. The basket also included potato chips made from the potatoes grown on the property! The kitchen was amazingly well stocked and my kid got to try Milo for the first time.

The lodge fully accommodating to all our needs as a big family. The sleds in the garage were at our disposal and the 3 surrounding properties made for perfect slopes constructions. There were plenty of board games to keep the kids entertained and the views of the lake and mountains were impeccable. House was nice and spacious and definitely felt like a home more than a house. Will definitely come back next year.

We had a wonderful stay at Jan’s place. We loved all of the details and the interesting art, books and furniture. It felt really homely and there were lots of helpful and thoughtful touches. The beds were all really comfortable with lovely fresh linen. Jan was an incredible host who really made sure that our stay was enjoyable. She was accommodating with a few last minute changes and always responded to messages promptly. We will definitely be booking a stay at Jans the next time we are in Otematata.

Such an amazing property and stay . Beautiful views and we were lucky enough to get snow in the morning . Close to everything you need and plenty of room for a family of 4 adults . Definitely recommend

Sue was a great host who responded to my questions quickly. The cottage was great.

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful, small cottage nestled in nature. It was cozy and warm, with plenty of firewood provided to keep it naturally heated. The host was incredibly helpful and friendly, even keeping us company during our stay. The cottage is in a peaceful, secluded location surrounded by fresh air and greenery — perfect for a quiet getaway. The host also gave us great recommendations on nearby places to explore. We truly enjoyed our time here and definitely plan to visit again!

We had a fantastic stay here for a couple of nights. The setting was beautiful and Michele was kind enough to let us explore the stunning garden and enjoy some of her home grown veg. The welcome couldnt have been warmer. The accommodation was clean and cosy and was perfect for us and our two small children. A perfect alternative to staying in Tekapo. We would loved to have stayed longer. Would strongly recommend this place to others.

We loved this cute cottage. Owners had the heating on for us. Much nicer than phots suggested and wonderfully quiet as at the back of owners home. We were expected street front from the photos so it was a lovely surprise. Wished we stayed more than a night as Geraldine is so lovely.

absolutely stunning place. Worth every penny spent. it has everything that you ask for, great rooms, great views, boat loads of amenities, huge collection of games, DVDs, books. the room upstairs provides you opportunity for Star gazing while lying on bed. perfect for family. my kid loved this home the most with so many things to do. absolutely perfect in all sense

Comfortable, clean and beautiful setting for our short trip to Pleasant Point. Ann was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!

So thankful for Judy's thoughtfulness with attention to detail to make our stay warm and welcoming.

Lovely little cottage that was perfect to stay in before we headed up to Mt. Cook! We appreciated the heated mattress pads on the beds.

Excellent accommodation and lovely and warm.
