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.

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.

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.

Lots of beds and spacious house with plenty of room inside and out to sit back and relax. Wished we'd had more time to explore more of the farm tracks. Plan to return.
