Great family friendly home
Thankyou Lyn and family for a lovely stay at your beautiful farm. The house is so comfortable, warm and really well equiped. It suited our large extended family group so well and the location is idyllic. It truely felt like a home away from home We loved the comfy beds and the log fire.

Great location with heaps of space
We had a great time staying at the Middle Rock High Country Farmstay. Perfect for our adventure on the course at Terrace Downs. Large rooms and had everything that we needed. Multiple bathrooms is a great feature. 5 stars, would recommend.

Girlz Trip to Fun Location
The Middle Rock Farm Stay "Lodge" is a delightful venue in a beautiful piece of serene countryside for an overnight or longer getaway. So much more luxurious than the term "shearers' quarters" implies. The living area and the bedrooms and bathrooms make for a modern, convenient and comfortable stay. The rooms are spacious and well-heated by the efficient log burner and heat transfer system. The beds have beautiful linen, and cosy underlays. Whilst there are no electric blankets, there were hot water bottles available for all. Lyn was very welcoming and obliging in all communications.

What a great big property with a wood burner that kept the entire house warm.
What a great big property with a wood burner that kept the entire house warm. A wonderful isolated location with an amazing view of the night sky. Unfortunately there was zero wifi for our stay so we were in the dark about important roading info and the fact that Arthur's Pass was closed the following morning. I also needed to clean two of the toilets before we used them... which was unfortunate.

Peaceful, warm and scenic = lovely
We had a great stay at Lynn’s house. It was spacious and well laid out. The fireplace is a super feature and we had a beautiful fire roaring all night. It’s ideally located in a quiet patch surrounded by big trees. We went for dinner at the Terrace Resort (which is only 7 minutes away) and the food was very good. The house is fully contained in case you wish to cook. The main bedrooms bed was comfy, which equaled a great nights sleep. Overall - five stars ! ⭐️

Incredible Location
....in a wonderful area. Managed to a bit of hiking in the area and it was just breathtaking. Access to areas like Castle Hill and even Arthur's Pass was a bonus. Lovely house, well appointed for our group and was nice to have a fire each night.

A familys thoughts on Middle Rock
Middle Rock was a perfect family house to stay in, a big dining table and enough chairs for it, plenty of fridge space, enough comfy seats around the fire and a fire thoughtfully already lit for our arrival. Thank you for the hospitality.

Warm, cosy and comfortable
We arrived in the dark just on 6pm the fire was going, which made for a very welcoming feel. Our host was helpful and friendly. The house is huge and very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

This property was modern, comfortable a perfect holiday home which caters beautifully for a larger group. The three bathrooms were fantastic, all beds very comfortable. The detail to the little things was great, i.e. thermos flasks, ice packs for chilly bins, lanterns for the evenings. The outdoor areas were great for family games. We all enjoyed our stay at Middle Rock immensely. Thank you Lyn for allowing us to stay on your beautiful property.
