Middle Rock is centrally located close to 3 ski fields (Mt Hutt, Porter Heights, Mt Olympus), 3 golf courses (Terrace Downs, Glentunnel and Methven) the walkways of the Lake Coleridge Basin, in close proximity to Opuke Methven hot pools and the Mt Hutt bike park, 5kms from dining experiences at Fable Terrace Downs Resort and easily accessible to winter skating at Staveley ice rink. At home the property is set in a farmyard setting where families can experience farm life. In addition, there are many kms of farm tracks available for walking and recreational cycling. A large sandpit is also available for younger children within the spacious outdoor living area. Inside a large log fire is a feature of the living area. In winter the property is fully insulated with ducted heating throughout the main building and standalone heaters in each bedroom.

Middle Rock is an excellent getaway for small group workshops and seminars. A feature of the living area is the large dining table that seats 12, ideal for meetings and seminars. There is also close proximity to Fable Terrace Downs Resort for groups who do not wish to self-cater.

Small Guided Travel Groups:

An increasing market for Middle Rock is small guided travel groups often seeking a farmstay stop between Christchurch and Lake Tekapo.

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.
