Location was great. very peaceful view of the farm. The Farm tour was very informative. Loved the farm animals. The owners were wonderful and made us very comfortable. Julie picked some fresh vegs from her garden which we used to make a soup, that was awesome. We were also lucky to see the stars on the clear sky last night.

It was perfect for a night on the road to Queenstown. The price was correct, the room was simple but that was enough for a short stay.

Clean and spacious room, but don't expect modern amenities as the building is quite old.

On our first trip to New Zealand and as we live on a small farmstead in the UK, we were very keen to sample a taste of life on a Hill Station. The cottage at Bauchops Hill Station really gave us a feel for life in the spectacular scenery which surrounds it. The landscape is awe inspiring and puts a different perspective on life.
Once the log burner in the living area of the cottage was lit, it heated up the whole place.
Make sure to take a look at the wonderful night sky during your stay-stars and moon are so bright out there!
We had the most memorable Farm Tour with Dion, whose extensive knowledge of the area and farming expertise was shared freely. We will always remember those few hours with him, with gratitude.
Set within the Burkes Pass gateway to Mackenzie Country, Burkes Pass Country Motels is centrally located for skiing at Mt Dobson and Roundhill and day trips to Mt Cook.

Everything as advertised, nice staff, flexible when we arrived late, and they had the heater going when we got there so it was nice and warm. Nice outlook.

Lovely little town away from tourist spots and really good value. Couple of pubs to eat at and a chinese and bakery and supermarket. We used it as a place to have a quiet day before going to Christchurch. Turned out much better than expected and after some rain it was beautiful to see all the snow covered mountains around the town.

Fairlie is a very small village with the main attractions being the alpaca farm (nice for families) and the local pie bakery, which has been hyped in social media. We found the pies being not above average, we had better ones in most places. The best thing about Fairlie was the Fairlie Holiday Park and its comfy rooms.

Fairlie is a cute town that is close to many other places such as Lake Tekapo and Timaru. It has a number of good shops and nice restaurants. When my partner and I came to stay we went to a restaurant called Carnegies and it does quite tasty pizzas. Fairlie Bakehouse is also a good place to stop by but be careful going at lunch time as it was extremely busy when we went at 12pm. We enjoyed reading the little info stands telling you about the history of Fairlie. There's also a place you can stay at (Rollesby accommodation) that has hot tubs, so lovely. Overall, would visit Fairlie again!

My mum and I had an amazing stay - it completely exceeded our expectations - we were arriving late and Erin prepared the apartment for us beautifully and even put the electric fireplace heater on - it was so cosy in there! We wish we could have stayed longer than one night. Beautiful location, great value for money, there’s everything you might need. Thank you Erin!

It is a nice little town with its own character. Travelled here from Lake Tekapo before leaving for Christchurch the next day so did not have much time to explore. The Mackenzie Motels were exceptional and the Fairlie Bakehouse was really lovely too. Really enjoyed my short stay here.

Fairlie is a small town, in the McKenzie Country.
Fairlie is a small town, in the McKenzie Country. Short drives to Tekapo, Geraldine or Timaru. Very safe and friendly town with all facilities. Good eating places, swimming pool, playgrounds and facilities. Great for a family holiday, relaxing or exploring. Most of your stay, your car won't be needed, just walk around !!
Based on the photographs provided our expectations were low. In th event they were far exceeded, because the motel is new, well-finished, very well equipped and sparkling clean For example, the quality of bed linen and mattress was far above what one might expect at this price point.
One has to be realistic: Fairlie is a tiny town a long way from anywhere in the high MacKenzie country. Finding something as good in those circumstances was a real bonus, thank you and well done.
The old forge is a very old house in quiet Fairlie. The old house has its charme and you can feel the time the house has already been here. There are lots of things to explore in the house. The records and the fire place really are gorgeous. Also it is not far away from Lake Tekapo.
You also has to understand that it is an old house and so everything is askew and the wooden floor creaks. I really liked it!
I stayed in multiple camp sites during a bike tour in the Nth Island this summer but this last minute booking while down south beats all of them for value for money. Awesome standard of facilities & exceedingly friendly & helpful staff. I'll definitely be back when I am in Fairlie again.
I love the self check-in where the owner wrote your name and room number on the board. We stayed for three nights and saw staff cleaning up with the music - absolutely love the vibe. I used to live in Fairlie and was glad to be able to stay in town for a few days.
It was clean, well equipped and we even accidentally ended up having an extra bed in the lounge which was nice because it meant we had two rooms for three people rather than all in one. The staff was super friendly and the location was 30min from lake Tekapo.
Lovely wee character house in a superb location in heart of Fairlie, very short walk to shops and cafes. Hosts made contact before stay and were very friendly and accommodating. Warm once both logburners were going and was a pleasant and unique stay.
Clean, comfortable, quiet and convenient - just what we needed when in Fairlie. It is easily walkable to the town for meals yet easy to find and park the car. Good, friendly family business. Recommended if you are travelling through the area.
Well appointed, super clean and warm. Lovely greeting on arrival and Us big kids 🤣 got to feed Grumpy goat and lovely Alpacas.
Hit tubs was fabulous!!!So pleased we chose Musterers and Fairlie to over night.
This is a new, well-finished, very well equipped and sparkling clean motel. Park in front of the room with sitting area in back yard. Great location and quiet street.
Great value to spend the night if you are driving through the South Island, old building that needs some work but everything is clean, basic breakfast provided.
