Reviewed Feb 11, 2026Private space. Fabulous gardens. Quiet and tranquil place on a farm in the country. Cosy. Warm. Nice welcoming owners. Delicious fresh garden raspberries to have with breakfast.
One small recommendation would be to provide plunger coffee with a French press.

Reviewed Jan 7, 2026We loved our stay at The Farm Bed & Breakfast! Nikkie and James were the best hosts. They picked us up from the centre of Middlemarch, where we dropped off our bikes, which was so helpful. They also lent us their own car to use during our stay, which was so nice of them. We were able to use it in the morning to head out to Salt Lake to do a walk, which was great. They were just the nicest people. You'll be well taken care of :) We loved our room, it had a great farm/cottage feel to it and we felt right at home as soon as we arrived. The bed was super comfortable, so we had a fantastic sleep. Another highlight was their dog Richie! He was really friendly and we loved giving him all of the snuggles. We couldn't recommend this enough, if you're cycling the trail or just in the area!
The only thing I was worried about when I first booked was how we were going to get there, as it's a short drive out of the centre of Middlemarch. However, Nikkie and James are more than happy picking you up and dropping you off, and as I mentioned above, also lent us their car to use while we were there! It was also really nice to stay on their farm, as it was so peaceful.

Reviewed Oct 2, 2025The accommodation was great with a comfy bed, lovely decor, a good variety of continental breakfast foods supplied and it was well heated. Being on a farm was really nice. Middlemarch is a beautiful part of NZ to visit and explore. The local pub was great for dinner and watching the rugby and the Kissing Gate Cafe great for coffee and lunch.

Reviewed Jan 21, 2025Lovely spot in Middlemarch, nice and quiet with super friendly and welcoming hosts- Nikki and James. Breakfast provided and fresh picked raspberries in the fridge which was a lovely touch. Reminded me of my Mums airbnb that she runs in Tauranga, so much so that I had to call her to tell her about it. Felt just like home.

Reviewed Mar 12, 2024The hosts, Nikki and James were very welcoming and it was a pleasure to be able to stay at their property. Breakfast was perfect and included yogurt, homemade stewed fruits and homemade museli. Because I'd told them I was coeliac, good quality gluten free museli and bread was also provided. Although we hadn't booked in for dinner Nikki was more than happy to prepare a meal for us - which was delicious and healthy. Wine and beer is also available to purchase at the property. Couldn't have been happier and very good value for money.
Nothing.
