This motel suited my needs well. After hiking at Mt Cook I needed a quiet place to get a good sleep and I found it here. The small town is full of friendly folk as well.

A great place to stay. Very clean, comfortable and well appointed.
Unfortunately the fridge wasnt as cold as needed and the freezer pads didn't freeze overnight.

My fault I never realised Fairlee was so far away from Tekapo. good half an hr drive. Old style motel from the 1970's. Comfy and close to public road.

All very clean, spacious and comfortable.
It was also a kind thought to put an electric heater on and to find a small milk in the fridge.

I was really impressed with the attention to detail. The room was beautifully presented and Erin (the owner) has obviously poured a lot of love into this place. Bravo.
I stayed at the motel as a convenient/cost effective alternative to higher price Lake Tekapo accom and was pleased with my choice.
Would stay again when visiting Tekapo.

Clean and convenient place to stay with all the amenities. Couldn't be happier with the place. Also...easiest check in and check out ever! Found the key in the door and left the key in the door. Doesn't get easier than that!
