very good stay provided you drive your own car.
This Postmaster House gave us a real opportunity to experience staying in a good house in South Island. There is a school directly opposite. The Four Square supermarket is within walking distance though we drove. A few doors from this supermarket is The Fairlie Bakery. It was worth waiting in a long line to buy the pies. We enjoyed the warmth of the 4 beds, leaving the other well prepared 5 beds as they were. Hi, there are 9 well made beds in 4 rooms! Also, there were lots of board games, golf balls,a table football, some soccer boots plus there was table tennis table in the building at the end of the garden. Our stay was very good indeed.

House not vacated & dirty - disappointing
Towels left in shower. Laundry left on dryer. Someone else's possessions all over house (shoes, coats, in drawers). Could not find 6 glasses or bowls, cutlery drawer overflowing & dirty. Had to wash up everything before we used it. Bedroom with no curtain for one window. Shame as property could be lovely & owner information was friendly and proactive.

An older property but well presented and comfortable inside, large grounds with beautiful alpine theme landscaping. Long drive with plenty of room for a boat. Sunny aspect and private back yard. Suit larger families or adult groups. Owners very amenable and easy to deal with. Would be happy to stay again.

Super cosy!!
We absolutely loved this home. Too manny positives about this property. We arrived on a very cold snowy winters day to a lit fire that made the home so toasty warm. The art work is beautiful and the decor very rustic. We visit Fairlie annually on that same weekend so we will definitely be staying here again. We had so much fun Playing the family board games together. The home is so spacious and big with plenty of space and extra rooms and bedding for extended family to enjoy it with us next time. This place had everything we needed. Such a great price for such an amazing place and the location is so good only short walking distance to everything. Dreamy Suggestions to make it even better would be a spa and maybe electric blankets to warm up the beds. Thanks so much! We will be back next year!
