"Great view in the country. Road to get there very bad. Recommend 4x4"

"Friendly reception and great food, which was on the house! Will definitely be return guests! "

"Peaceful and well cared for. Meals delicious. Ideal stopover for doing the Naude's Nek Pass. Birds were a treat."

"A great find in the countryside of Maclear. Our host Ebenezer, made our stay unforgettable."

"Getting to Fairbairn off the R56 takes some time as the road isn't too good but our small car had no problem as we took it slowly. The drive was well worth it: utter tranquility and an old-world charm to both house and farm-style dinner. Our little dog also loved the place. Host Ebenezer is a major ..."

"Warm verwelkoming. Netjiese gerieflike akkommodasie. Heerlike ontbyt"

"We enjoyed our stay, meals delicious, hospitality excellent!

Advice: a TV set should not be centralised to dining hall/room;

And some attention to draught in the same room otherwise the service is friendly and they have not seen the last of us and our friends, we will highly recommend ..."

"Excellent!! This place can be highly recommended. Should have stayed longer."

"The farm is only about 10 km out of Maclear and the scenery, the tranquillity and the friendliness and competence of the manager, Ebenezer, make it a highly recommended visit."

"A superb place to relax and unwind. The hospitality was excellent. Truly an undiscovered gem!"

"The approach road is really only suitable for a 4X4. Eskom power outage on the day marred our stay. Dinner consisted of good and plentiful food, but still a little overpriced for a one-course meal.

The room was very comfortable and spacious, the bathroom had modern fittings."

"Had a lovely time, beautiful view of the mountains, birds singing everyday. So very peaceful. Everything was top notch. Will see us again without a doubt. Thank you."

"WE had an absolutely fantastic 2 days at Fairbairn guest farm and had everything we needed in the house. We slept warm and everything was crispy clean. We enjoyed the most beautiful scenery and fresh air. Erlank is a very kind and effective host, thank you! And thank you for coming to say hallo Link..."

We enjoyed the most beautiful scenery and fresh air. Erlank is a very kind and effective host, thank you! And thank you for coming to say hallo Linky, we appreciate it. It was like a home away from home. Our dogs also enjoyed it!"

"Had a terrific stay. If we did not have a booking at a next resort we would definitely stayed longer. Awesome. One really need to stay longer to enjoy everything the area and guest farm offers. Special thanks to Erlank for looking after us and make us feel extremely welcome."

"The three nights we spent at Fairbairn Guest Farm felt like home. The accommodation is 5 star value, comfortable, clean and fully equipped, even the braai lapa. Erlank is an excellent host and we will definitely return when in the area."

"Ons het heerlik gebly by Fairbairn en hulle Braaikamer is 'n fees.

Die pad daarheen is bietjie uitgery maar heeltemal rybaar vir 'n gewone sedan as jy dit net stadig vat.

Die eienaar is baie vriendelik en gaaf.

"Clean and well appointed. Erlank proved to be a good cook and host. We enjoyed our stay."

"Amazing place. Amazing view. Amazing people all around. Amazingness. "

"Very clean everything works.

Meals were really good value."

"My wife and I had the pleasure of staying here on two separate occasions. Out on a farm with views of the forest and mountains brings with it peace and quiet. Put your feet up and relax as the world passes by uninterrupted by the hustle and bustle of every day life. Our host Deon was friendly and cheerful which made the stay that much more enjoyable. Dinners are home cooked cuisine in the good old farm tradition and well worth it. Make sure you book dinner if you plan to stay. We will definitely stay there again should the opportunity present itself. "

"Fantastic accommodation, very comfortable and well appointed. If you choose to self-cater the kitchen is spacious and very well equipped. Our host Deon was very welcoming - we really couldn't have asked for more. And the place is so quiet, ideal for star-gazers! Unfortunately we only stayed for on..."

"My stay at Fairbairn Guest Farm was memorable. Since I am from Durban we got there around 22h30 and we had to wake the manager, which was unpleasant at that hour. She welcomed us and lead us to our rooms. Beautiful farm house. So homely. The next day at 07h00 she was on the premises with her staff. ..."

Offered breakfast (although we didn't include it in our quotation) All in all it was elegant, clean and beautiful classic decor. Love it! Definitely going back and recommends it to anyone who need piece of mind and breath of fresh air"

"Beautiful farmstead a few km from Maclear. The hosts prepared a wholesome stew for us on arrival which hit the spot! Thank you."

"Really very nice, host Ebby was excellent and there is a good cook too."

"We had a very lovely stay at Fairbairn Guest Farm. The staffs at the guest farm were all very hospitable, everything at the establishment was perfect. I wish I could have stayed longer."

"I just experienced what heaven would be like. The stay was excellent. Ebenezer the manager made us feel at home. The surroundings were sublime. I will definitely return and will recommend the establishment."

"Most enjoyable stay. We were made so welcome by Ebenezer, shown around and within a very short time felt quite at home.
Electric blankets on the beds made it very cosy.

Our only regret was that we were only to spend one night, so, if ever we are privileged to visit again, it'll certainly be longer.
Thank you all and Best Wishes "

"I had such a lovely time here. The quality of the room was great (bedding and shower). There was communal DSTV. The owner was really friendly and accommodating so I really cannot fault anything. I will most certainly return to this establishment and tell others of them too."
