What a lovely property! Drew met us on arrival. He was very welcoming and hospitable and showed us around the property, introducing us to the llamas and cats. We greatly enjoyed our time here. The room was incredibly cozy and warm. I was a little skeptical about the detached bathroom at first, but let me assure you it is only a few steps from the accommodation - very close, and there are warm robes to wear for any nightly trips. Feeding the llamas was a wonderful treat. We had dinner at the Red Stag, according to Drew's suggestion, and the food and service were great. Very charming restaurant in an historic home. Fairlie has much more charm and character than nearby Lake Tekapo, and I highly recommend staying here.
