Welcome to our haven in the Mt Cook region. Our modern home is on the highway, 2 hours south of Christchurch, 3 1/2 hours north of Queenstown. We are 3km east of Fairlie, on the Fairlie-Geraldine highway (on the left coming from Fairlie). You can find us using the map together with directions that can be printed..

You are welcome to feed the animals on our 50-acre sheep and beef farmlet. We have spectacular views of the mountains.

Our two guest wings have private entrances and bathrooms and their own lounges with coffee/tea making facilities; however we hope you will join us for a cuppa and chat or perhaps for a farm style meal. The Braelea wing enjoys the morning sun and has television/video, refrigerator, herbal teas, iron, hairdryer and bathrobes. The Mackenzie one enjoys the evening sun. You are welcome to use our household laundry in the evening. Dinner is available most nights

Les's interests include hunting, tramping and photography. Sandra is developing the extensive garden. Les, Sandra, Niska the pet deer & the two "All Black" cats look forward to sharing their home and environs with you.
