About this property
Step back in time with this extraordinary, iconic Fairfield property, steeped in history and lovingly restored. This property began as the famed Coach and Horses Hotel, a vital stopover for settlers drawn to Otago during the gold rush. Following a fire in 1904, the hotel was rebuilt and served as a beloved tea room and community gathering place until the 1950s. Now, this historic building has been transformed into a truly one-of-a-kind family residence, while preserving its unique charm and heritage.Inside, character and warmth permeate every corner, the ground floor offers multiple living spaces that speak to the grandeur of its hotel days, from the formal dining room to the grand living rooms designed to host and entertain. A good-sized kitchen with plenty of storage, opens to a dining room, adjacent what once was the bars bottle store is now a convenient office. The main living room flows off this space.
Off the wide hallway, proceed up the stairs to the upper floor which offers eight bedrooms (7 Double 1 Single), with the master suite opening out to the restored balcony, providing sweeping rural views, and even glimpses of the ocean. With central heating radiators powered by coal this home has a cozy feeling year-round. Crafted with a pioneer's spirit, every room speaks to a time when warmth, hospitality, and community meant everything.
The 602sqm (+/-) section hosts a standalone spa room ideal for unwinding in the evenings and plenty of off street parking for your vehicles. This is more than a residence it's a rare piece of Otago's heritage, an iconic landmark, and an unparalleled living experience.
