    A comfortable very clean unit. The motel was warm on our arrival with some lovely little personal touches. The towels were big and fluffy.

    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.

    A New Zealand motel with comfy chairs, settees in fact! A rare find. Super comfy bed. Helpful hostess. Good value and short drive to Lake Tekapo. Easy walk to the village. A famous pie shop and two pubs selling jugs of beer at reasonable prices.

    A great place to stay at in a very lovely town. The room was cozy, clean and spacious. The kitchen well equipped. Everything was thought after. I took a stroll in the street where the motel stands, worth to see the turn of the color of the trees.

    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.

    First impressions weren't great, its an old building. But the rooms are clean, the bed and its linen are superb, theres nothing not to like. The wc and shower were spotless . I had a drink on the bar and also ate there the Sea food platter was absolutely amazing, so much food for a really great price. The overall menu looked to have many choices. (there seemed to be quite a few meals collected throughout the evening). Free parking on the road directly at the front of the hotel.

    The motel is well located on the road from Christchurch to Wanaka. Not far from the motel there is a supermarket and gas station.
