Search hotels in Middlemarch

Middlemarch is a small town at one end of the Otago Rail Trail, within easy driving reach of Dunedin. The Kissing Gate Cafe provided a warm and welcoming place to have a good coffee and tasty treats on a fairly cold winter's day. We saw the rolling stock for what was formerly the Taieri Gorge Railway (later Dunedin Railways) parked up at Middlemarch Station, having effectively been mothballed, we were told, because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism. We hope the line, running as it does through some impressive scenery, will be opened for business once again at some point.
