Julie & Tony Dobbs
Escape to the countryside near Fairlie & enjoy the peace & amazing views! Your stay includes your own private spa pool, a free 1 hour guided farm tour, and delicious continental breakfast! There is a trampoline, and toys for younger guests to enjoy. Our 850 acre farm has 2,500 sheep & 350 beef cattle. You'll love handfeeding our sheep, pig, dogs, hens, & alpaca!, and learning about New Zealand Farming Practices. By night, enjoy the Mackenzie Region's famous night skies, with thousands of shining stars. DRIVE TIMES: Lake Tekapo & Timaru are a 40 minutes, Fairlie 10 minutes, Mt Dobson Ski Field 30 minutes, & Christchurch Airport is 2 hours. Cricklewood Road runs directly off State Highway 8, so we are very easy to find, just 2.4 km along Cricklewood Road. FARM TOUR TIME for 1 night bookings is 5pm (summer), 4pm (winter) on day of arrival, please arrive on time so as not to miss your tour. Due to Government mandates, all guests over the age of 8 years must wear a face mask, thank you. We are 10 minutes to the Supermarket in Fairlie, a number of restaurants & boutique style shops, and be sure and check out our little town's world famous Pie shop 'Fairlie Bakehouse'.
We both grew up on farms in the South Island, Tony in Fairlie and Julie in Waimate Tony was a commercial sheep shearer and has represented New Zealand at hand shearing for many years. Julie is a registered nurse, which is helpful when looking after newborn or sick animals! We’ve travelled around the world many times on Tony’s sheep shearing trips and we always loved visiting farms in places like Zimbabwe, America, Italy, England and France. Our farm visits are what we remember the most from our overseas visits – the people, their challenges and opportunities on their farming journey, and the warm welcomes from genuine people who were also interested in our lifestyle and farm life in New Zealand. We purchased Shear-Vue in 1990 and the aim of our farmstay is to provide the opportunity for guests to stay on an authentic New Zealand farm, the chance to meet an ordinary Kiwi farming family and to share New Zealand farming practices, as well as the challenges, and opportunities that farm life provides. We also love sharing our farm environment with others who don’t have access to space, views, animals, or clean fresh air – things that we value and have known all of our lives!
We are located 10 minutes from Fairlie, 40 minutes from Timaru, 40 minutes from Lake Tekapo, and just 2 hours from Christchurch airport. We are located in the legendary Mackenzie Region, which is one of the most beautiful regions in New Zealand, It has the highest mountains, incredible glaciers, bright turquoise lakes, golden grasslands and pure starry skies.
