Across recent reviews, Mackenzie Motels stands out for very clean, comfortable, and often refreshed rooms, friendly hands-on owners, and a central Fairlie location that makes an easy stopover for trips toward Tekapo, Aoraki/Mt Cook, Christchurch or Queenstown.
Many guests highlight thoughtful touches, comfy beds, strong showers, patios or carports, and good value. However, kitchen setups vary by unit: some have full kitchens or laundry while others lack a sink, leading to dishwashing in the bathroom, and a few guests reported unusual or confusing check-in arrangements. A dependable base in Fairlie for a short, comfortable stay.

I was looking for a room with a stove and found this place. There are 4 induction cookers and an oven. There is a space outside, and there is a table and a washing machine. The room is clean. I couldn't find a cutting board. When I asked the master how to use the oven and heater, he smiled and told me, which made me happy. I'm sorry I left something in the microwave. I warmed it up for breakfast, but I forgot. I chose New Zealand to see the stars at Tekapo. Fairy is a quiet and nice place. I didn't want to sleep, so I went outside to see the night sky, and there was a sheep. The night I saw the Milky Way with him was an unforgettable memory. Thank you so much for providing me with a nice room.

Simple cabin that satisfied our needs. Great kitchen facilities and garden with deck. One of the rooms had no aircon so we had to move kids mattress to the main room as it was too hot in the other room. Not much to see in fairlie but close to lake Tekapo and Pukaki and Mount cook gateway.

Absolutely lovely. Extremely clean and new owner is lovely and has refreshed the place, the photos are out of date and the place is even nicer than the photos show. The family suite comes with a fully equipped kitchen including oven and hob which was an unexpected bonus. Would recommend, shame we didn’t stay longer as we had a very comfortable stay.

We were pleasantly surprised staying here. We had 2 rooms, one with a king bed, lounge and dining table, the other with a king bed and single bed. Perfect for our family of 5. The place was very clean and seemed as though it was renovated very recently. The kitchen had cooktop, microwave, oven, small fridge - everything you’d need for a few days away. Parking was in front of the room with an undercover option. Reception is across the road (very clearly signposted) and owner was very lovely and happy for us to leave the key on the table and door unlocked when we left. Would happily stay here again.

Conveniently located, clean room with lots of amenities. However with no housekeeping services, cleaning the dishes each day in the bathroom sink using bath soap and bath towel was somewhat inconvenient.

I feel like this place was just recently renovated. It was soooo clean, smells good inside the room, they have bed warmer, branded soap and shampoos that smell good as well, heating light in the toilet, and just really well maintaned. Good for the price. Felt instantly comfortable to rest in a room that you know is clean and well maintained.

Lovely stay for my husband and I en route from Christchurch to Queenstown. Room was comfortable with a wonderful heated mattress pad and provided coffee/tea/cocoa. The patio and little yard were a nice surprise. Walking distance to Fairlie Bakehouse for breakfast. We only wish we’d booked more time at this property.

This was more like a small cabin than a motel, and we were very comfortable in our snuggly queen beds that were heated, and we had an electric fireplace. Air conditioning (worked but wasn’t needed), a kitchenette with a bar fridge, toaster, kettle, microwave, assorted cutlery, plates, bowls and glasses/mugs. We were even supplied means of cleaning to reuse our dishes, which came in handy and stopped dirty dishes from piling up. We had a dining table with four chairs - was very handy. The shower was hot and the pressure was good. We had a carport right outside our door and a private outdoor area at the back our studio apartment/cabin with table and chairs. We were 30 minutes driving from Lake Tekapo, within 2-5 minutes walking distance to the pub/shops and the famous Fairlie Bakery and their delicious pies. This bakery was packed every morning with visitors. We also had television and internet which worked well, tv was slightly glitchy at times but wasn’t an issue. We were very comfortable here, and would happily return on our next visit. The staff were very pleasant and friendly, easy to contact and helpful - I saw the cleaner several times and I don’t remember her name but I do remember how lovely she was. We would HAPPILY return.

We overnighted here on our way up north. On the good side, it is a very clean and comfortable place to overnight. It is close to town so we were able to walk out and get a wonderful breakfast pie from a local bakery. Our only hiccup was with coming and going. We arrived on the late side and unfortunately ended up waking the office staff up to tell us how to get in. (New Zealand is so safe they just leave the key in the door for you.) We left out on the early side and could not rouse anyone to leave the key with, so we left it as we found it. I think if we knew the drill, so to speak, the office issues would not have been a concern at all. Overall this is a safe, comfortable place and I would stay there again.

Rooms are small, showers and bathroom are outside and inconveniently located. As our previously booked room wasnt suitable we were downgraded, but as we complained to the new owner she has helped make our stay more comfortable and we appreciated her support. I hope to one day re experience this accommodation after the new ownership has made changes and look forward to a better experience.

Booked 2 rooms for my husband & i & my daughter & partner. Daughter checked in for all of us & staff member was lovely & very helpful. Rooms were warm & very clean. I appreciated the extra effort of printed instructions for use of remotes for the tv. Bed was comfortable as were pillows. More luxurious than what we were expecting. Good shower in bathroom & unit was immaculately clean. Lovely fireplace in unit as well although not used as unit was lovely & warm for winter. Private outdoor garden area would be lovely in summer or of we were staying longer. Motel is within close proximity to restaurants and shopping. Undercover car parking in front of units which is free. Units have a jug for tea & coffee & a microwave. Would highly recommend Mackenzie Motel if staying in Fairlie.

Really great spot to stop for a night ... room was super clean, beds were really comfy and location was perfect for walking to one of the many options for a bite. Check in was a bit unusual but easy. Last time we were in NZ, we stayed in Tekapo but it was really expensive this time - I would chose this spot in Fairlie over Tekapo any day. Fairlie Bakehouse pies really do need to be eaten to be belived - awesome!

Lovely stay for my husband and I en route from Christchurch to Queenstown. Room was comfortable with a wonderful heated mattress pad and provided coffee/tea/cocoa. The patio and little yard were a nice surprise. Walking distance to Fairlie Bakehouse for breakfast. We only wish we’d booked more time at this property.

Really great spot to stop for a night ... room was super clean, beds were really comfy and location was perfect for walking to one of the many options for a bite. Check in was a bit unusual but easy. Last time we were in NZ, we stayed in Tekapo but it was really expensive this time - I would chose this spot in Fairlie over Tekapo any day. Fairlie Bakehouse pies really do need to be eaten to be belived - awesome!

The property was in good condition. I LOVED the heated mattress, especially since we did not know how to work the room heater. WiFi was excellent, and Cynthia gave us a warm welcome and helpful information for dining in the area.

퀸스타운 가는 길에 하루 머물다 갑니다. 주인이 매우 친절하게 환영해주셨어요. 숙소는 매우 깨끗하고 동네가 조용해서 좋아요. Fairlie Bakehouse와 가깝습니다.

"Renovated on a very tight budget. Photos of the rooms are the deluxe ones. The others are very basic with no kitchen.
