Just stopped in quickly not expecting much, but ended up staying all afternoon. The gentleman running the cafe is friendly & welcoming, we enjoyed a tour of the museum followed by a great value & good quality toastie with chips in the sunshine : definitely recommend to stop by!nEven if you just stop to grab some lunch or a fresh ice cream, best in town! Cafe prices and food quality unbelievable!
Great museum. It should be on your list when passing by. You can learn about people of Fairlie and they have nice selection of cars and tractors in the back.
What a wonderful place to have a break on a road trip!nThe cafe is what you notice from the road and it's great too, with tasty, fresh, good value meals and snacks. The coffee is excellent! The museum's modest appearance from the road is very misleading as there are some enormous buildings behind with impressive collections of cars and machinery, plus some excellent military exhibits. There's a fascinating separate exhibition about jetboats and their creator, Bill Hamilton I hadn't known anything about him but he's a real NZ hero .nThe collection of wagons and carriages from the colonial period is really great and the displays of early kitchens and household goods was a good reminder of how everyday life has changed. We were there for 2 hours and could have easily spent more time. Great value for the modest $10 admission charge, it's run by volunteers !nWell worth a stop if you're in Fairlie.
Definitely worth the visit as there is so much to see you could easily spend the day here.
Very enjoyable place to visit. Excellent range of interesting historic items, especially the jet boat display. We spent a long time there and will go again. There is something for everyone including food and great coffee.
