Family-friendly vacation rentals in Fairlie

Great house to rent for a big group, perfect for us. Communication brilliant, wonderful to arrive with the fire going. House was great, had everything we needed. Definitely recommend it to others. Thank you Chris and Julie

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.

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 had a lovely stay whilst doing part of the Alps to Ocean bike ride. Really cosy place. The hot tub was the perfect temperature. The apple cake if you opt for dinner was brilliant. The only heads up I'd give other guests is that if you're over 5' 9 you might be ducking slightly in part of the bus, and there's no electricity inside. Neither was a problem for us though.

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!

I was so lucky to book this treasure Airbnb that has been on TV! The stunning design really lives up to its reputation. Every corner is filled with an artistic touch, and I can take photos anywhere to set my social media on fire. The facilities are complete and comfortable, and the location is very convenient. Staying here makes me feel like a "star"! Highly recommended! 🌟

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.

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.

Sue was a great host who responded to my questions quickly. The cottage was great.

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!

The room is very close to Lake Tikapo. The room is clean and tidy. The information booklets in the room are beautiful. I will stay here again next time.

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

Thank you for a lovely place to stay while we visited Ashburton. Peaceful surrounds and so handy with short drive to town. Jo was friendly and accommodating. Thanks Jo, your place added to a great weekend away from home!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The space was immaculately clean and the beds were amazingly comfortable. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful. Perfect location with epic views across to Mt Hutt. Would definitely book again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Beautiful home, so lovely to have the fire set. Ready to be lit on arrival . Ideal location for my daughter’s wedding. The host was fantastic, easy to deal with. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend the Vulcan hotel for meals and drinks.

What an incredible place to stay in Methven! The home is large and has everything you could need. We brought our infant, and Franz was so accommodating by providing us with pack-n-play, high chair, toys. Such a comfortable home with many interesting vintage items and decorations. Such great value too!

Lovely little cottage that was perfect to stay in before we headed up to Mt. Cook! We appreciated the heated mattress pads on the beds.
