Melanie and Rex looked after us brilliantly after we had completed the Rail Trail from Middlemarch to Clyde. Beautiful house, great breakfast and even tried the wine they get produced themselves (a nice drop!) and a spa pool to relax in. Their dog (Mollie) is part of the experience - a real character (loves to chase shining lights). Rex dropped... More

Melanie, Rex & Mollie are very amiable, but discrete hosts. You'll get a warm welcome to their fascinating character home; you'll enjoy good food, a cozy guest lounge & a great sleep. Sure, the bathroom is a little detached from the bedroom, but subtle lighting guides the way at night. Thanks guys for a great start to our weekend 'road... More

A wonderful house,congenial hosts & a great start to our adventure holiday. Food was superb. 15 OUT OF 10 ! The bedroom was so comfortable . Grounds were picturesque. Conveniently located just off the centre of town above the river. So peaceful & quiet. Go back in a heartbeat.

Hartley's Homestead was a great place to stay after our two and a half day cycle of the Otago Rail Trail from Middlemarch through to Clyde. The grounds are lovely and there is plenty of outdoor space to chill out, the rooms were tastefully done (very large comfy beds) and breakfast was delicious (lots of home made fruits and jams)....

An amazing and beautiful place to stay. The beds are like sleeping on a cloud. Was a relaxing night spent before my big day. The perfect place for a wedding as Melanie and Rex made every so easy and relaxed, great hosts. Loved the spa. Thanks.

We stayed at Hartley Homestead Boutique b & b for a night when we had a wedding down that way recently. Melanie and Rex were wonderful hosts, and so was there friendly dog Molly. The room was lovely and the grounds very inviting not that we had a chance to spend much time there before the wedding. Beds are very... More

We stayed for 1night after finishing the rail trail. The owners are very friendly and were keen to make us feel at home. The grounds are really beautiful with a lovely country garden with gazebo. Our room looked out on the front garden, was stylish and had a real touch of elegance. Only small point for consideration was that our... More
