The large homestead garden at Middle Rock has for many years hosted domestic and international tour groups. Featuring stone walls, a pond and a collection of hardy plants and trees, the garden is framed by panoramic views of the Mt Hutt mountain range.

Groups with limited time frames, or local community groups wanting a shorter day, often choose to make Middle Rock a lunch destination. For these groups a variety of options are available including a short 30 minute farm tour by coach.
