Her place was very nice and what we needed as a couple after long travel time to NZ wanting to travel a few hours from CHC airport to get a leg up on the next day's driving. As such it was perfect for us. It is quite small yet comfortable and she has done a great job making it comfortable from the check-in, through amenities including a very comfortable bed to the check out process. Fairlie itself is quite small and we arrived late and left early so not able to comment on what the area has to offer. I can say the Fairlie Bakeshop was fantastic and had great breakfast "pies", the salmon-bacon was superb!
