On the western edge of Fairlie, these stylish self-contained cottages afford all mod cons with the bonus of a shared barbecue area and woolshed 'lounge' – complete with donkeys, goats and a pony to pet. Units are plush and spacious; the larger ones come complete with their own wood-fired hot tub ($45 extra) for a stargazing soak.
