Wonderful Stay

We had a wonderful stay. The house was great. It was very well presented and had everything that you need for a long weekend. It was a very comfortable house. Juanita was great at letting us know how the check-in worked and what is around the area that we could do. The location is really nice because my children wanted to experience a country holiday. I like it as it was close to the winery and the national park. We had a great time.

Lovely country break

We had a wonderful stay at Fairbanks Guesthouse. Juanita had the fire going when we arrived, and the house was welcoming and cosy and contained everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is peaceful and scenic, with easy access to everything the region has to offer. It is the perfect place to spend time relaxing with family or friends, and Juanita and Steve are great hosts. We really appreciated their hospitality and loved our stay.
