1. Middle Rock Farm Tour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 5 reviews
One hour’s drive west of Christchurch. A comprehensive sheep farm tour viewing 7,000 sheep and seasonal farming activities -sheep dog mustering, sheep handling, lamb feeding (in season). A visit to Middle Rock offers the opportunity to be guests of a New Zealand farming family in a non-commercial environment amidst the stunning high country scenery of the Lake Coleridge area. There is no minimum number and family groups are a specialty.

What a wonderful special place. Lovely very comfortable 4 bedroom plus 2 cabin accomodation with large but cosy living/ dining room & great kitchen. Wonderful to relax and enjoy the surrounding activities , walks and scenery from this farm-stay. Be great in winter for a skiing stay as well. Do the farm tour - we loved it and we are kiwis! Hearing the history and learning about the balance of a working farm combined with the generational environmental protection measures was really inspiring. Huge thanks Lyn and Bruce for sharing your special place with us. Champagne at sunset by the Rakaia river a must - at their special family spot. Had 13 of us from 13-89. Special family weekend - magic.

Escape to a world of peace and tranquillity. Hot Air Ballooning is a magical experience and a flight with Ballooning Canterbury offers panoramic views across the fertile Canterbury Plains to the Southern Alps. There is nothing quite so romantic and exciting as floating across an ever changing landscape. Come fly with us!

Well worth a visit. Great museum of early NZ. Buildings in brick from their own brickworks. Impressive water turbine and water tower. Amazing gardens and large trees. One could wander around for some time enjoying the scenes. Established in the 1800s and still in the Deans family it truly is a window into out history and pioneering spirit.
