Snow Chalet - Fairlie Holiday Home
For those who have fond memories of staying in a quirky bach as a kid, this home offers a wonderfully nostalgic stay, while providing a comfortable and practical base for families or groups looking to explore the region.
The living area is cosy and welcoming, with a wood fire to keep things toasty after a day out adventuring, along with a selection of books and board games for easy evenings in. WiFi is available if you need to stay connected.
The kitchen is well equipped for preparing hearty meals, whether you’re cooking for a ski trip, a day at the lake, or keeping things simple. Gather around the wooden dining table to enjoy meals together and unwind after a busy day.
Snow Chalet is conveniently located within Fairlie township, just a short drive to local cafes and amenities. The Fairlie Bakehouse and Eat Café are both nearby for a quick coffee or breakfast, and a local laundromat is also close by if you need to freshen things up during your stay.
For winter sports enthusiasts, Mount Dobson Ski Field is around 30 minutes away, with Fox Peak approximately 50 minutes by car. Round Hill Ski Area is about 1 hour and 15 minutes away, and the Ohau Snow Fields are roughly 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Tekapo is just over 30 minutes away for a visit to the hot pools or ice rink, while Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park can be reached in under two hours if you’re keen to explore further afield.
Snow Chalet also offers covered parking suitable for a boat. Lake Opuha is only a 13‑minute drive away, making it easy to enjoy a day out on the water. If hiking is on your agenda, the Four Peaks High Country Track is around 18 minutes away by car.
Simple, comfortable and well located, Snow Chalet is a great base for exploring Fairlie and the wider Mackenzie region.
Please note that three of the 4 bedrooms are up a steep, narrow staircase, and may not be suitable for some guests.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
