Family-friendly vacation rentals in Fairlie

We had a great stay at Chris and Julie’s. Their place was cozy and very clean with the log fireplace running for us when we arrived. Hope to make it back to stay again in Ski Season sometime. Thanks.

Loved our stay! Amazing views and super cosy house with everything we needed 😊 We will definitely be coming back! Jess and Nico were awesome hosts. One thing to note for families with kids: Master bedroom is upstairs and the other two bedrooms are downstairs.

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 :)

The house was fantastic, loved the fireplace and location was so convenient. Simon was super flexible and gave lots of good recommendations for food and things to do. Even went out of his way to tell us about the Aurora. Really appreciate the wonderful accommodation and excellent host. 100% recommend!

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.

Lovely place. Beautiful surroundings and super house. Will come back

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 :)

Perfect location to get away from the city life! It has an English feel to it, filled with lots of character! We were greeted by two very friendly dogs. I'd love to stay again in winter so I can use the huge log burner!

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.

Greta place for a huge family to stay. Everyone had their own comfortable beds and was nice and warm throughout the stay with the heaters. Toilets were clean and the water pressure was good with constant hot water for all 10 of us during shower times. Location was near the petrol kiosk, supermarket and stretch of eateries. If I really had to pinpoint one thing to say, it would just be the walls were abit too thin for our comfort as we could hear like our own family chatter outside in the living room or kitchen even with the bedroom doors fully closed. But I will definitely choose to stay here again as it was worth every penny to stay.

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.

A character house that has been sympathetically undated. Very specious. Four heat pumps ensure warmth in all rooms. Extra large lounge, two separate sunrooms, and large bedrooms make this place standout as value for money. Would beat a motel any day. Ample off street parking.

Absolutely beautiful home with stunning views! The house was immaculate with a very well equipped kitchen, lovely comfortable beds & excellent heating. Clear instructions on how to use everything which was super helpful. Nicole was friendly & responsive. A lovely home to stay in, thank you!

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.

A lovely warm, clean and central accommodation. Relaxing and peaceful

The house situate a little bit from downtown area but have very beautiful surrounding. Space is enough for our group of 6 with one attach bedroom have to access from balcony. Will be much more comfortable with 4. With full of amenities provided. Its’ very comfort stay. Good place.

A very comfortable house to stay. We had a great time.

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

Jim and Michele’s property is clean and cosy! They shared a very detailed list of recommendations which were very helpful too! 10/10 recommend!
