Great tour with Garry. Wonderful personal stories about all sorts of items. Huge museum with many items of interest, from tractors to typewriters, from fencing wires to phones and medical equipment. Lovely old house belonging to a former local with items from the home.

I like the Cafe here. Good coffee & nice healthy food options. They made me a gluten free pancake as an alternative to their hot sandwich, it was delicious 😋, thank you. However, have not actually been through the museum so cannot comment on it.

R. W.

Nice little place for a coffee and look at vintage wagon wheels. Scones yummy and you can purchase some organic products there to.

Great guided tour by Garry! Well worth the visit if you're passing through Fairlie.

Brilliant local museum. Motorcars, agricultural equipment, household artifacts and pioneers cottage to look around. There is a great coffee shop there as well; the owners of which are very welcoming.

H. T.

Absolutely beautiful food. Didn't get time to visit the museum as was closing at 3.00 pm. We thought we come back the next day but unfortunately things happen.

Walked into the warmth of a fire going as it was chilly outdoors. There was an array of organic produce displayed on one wall, nice atmosphere. Food was delicious, coffee and berry smoothie very nice. Highly recommend popping in for a meal.

We did not go through the museum as we were short of time today but the bakery was absolutely amazing. The very best hot cross buns we have ever had! Huge range of fresh health food available i.e. nuts, museli, nut bars, nut cakes, dried fruit etc etc. A real surprise package and well worth a stop over.... did I mention the delicious coffee. Mmmmm

Nice museum and great coffee. It will be a good pit stop when you drive to Queenstown.

We loved this place and wish that our small rural museum committee could come and see what could be achieved. Well worth the $8.00 entrance fee. Really friendly cafe/front of house people and useful map. There were so many buildings to look in and the displays were cohesive with great descriptors on the various exhibits. The information boards were detailed and the collections and displays were well set out. Definitely will be back and have already been recommending the museum.

Stopped in for a coffee and couldn't resist some of the baked treats. Great coffee, nice atmosphere and lovely fresh baked snacks. Would definitely recommend.

Why go into town when you can stop here? The food was magnificent, possibly the best poached eggs I’ve had! Coffee is good too. I recommend this place and it isn’t busy so no waiting!

Lots of stuff to look at but not really any info on what it was and almost none on the history of fairlie as a town. Would have been great to have a bit more educational material. Ok if you like looking a old stuff without context

T. d. K.

Very nice. All small scale and run by volunteers. But lots of displays with nostalgic old stuff. A place that babyboomers and earlier generations should see.

E. L.

Brilliant! Very comprehensive, large variety and well laid. Highly recommended and well priced.
