Middlemarch in the Strath Taieri
The Strath Taieri District is located an hour's drive inland from Dunedin on State Highway 87, three hours from Queenstown and Wanaka and five and a half hours drive from Christchurch.
The district covers 6,805 hectares of land. It stretches 65km from north to south and 55km from east to west. It encompasses the Rock and Pillar range, part of the Te Papanui Conservation Park and the magnificent Taieri River.
The spectacular landscapes offers visitors wilderness, splendid vistas, striking rock tors as well as enjoyment of a busy farming district.
The agricultural opportunities that attracted our first settlers remain today with fresh opportunities developing in tourism stimulated by the Otago Central Rail Trail. This has spurred a vibrant community of entrepreneurs and is increasingly viewed as a great place to visit.
The Recreational opportunities abound, the lifestyle is laid back and the locals friendly and ready to make your stay memorable from start to finish.
