Hartley Homestead Boutique Bed and Breakfast is a grand 1900s mud brick homestead surrounded by almost an acre of lawns and mature gardens on the banks of the picturesque Clutha River.

A few minutes stroll from restaurants, cafés and bars of the historic gold mining township of Clyde and within walking distance of the Otago Central Rail Trail, Hartley Homestead is the ideal base for spending time exploring all that Central Otago has on offer.

There are two beautifully appointed bedrooms with guest lounge in the homestead and a very private super-king bed unit in the grounds.

Join your hosts Melanie and Rex Eade, along with Mollie, their border collie, to hear about the history of the area, their migration from city life and the creation of Hartley Homestead.

Experience a different pace of life whilst relaxing on the verandah with a complimentary glass of wine and cheeses from the region or in the hot tub overlooking their wine producing Pinot Noir vines.

At breakfast, taste the difference of homegrown fruits and jams from 80-year-old fruit trees, a legacy left from when the area was an orchard.

The homestead and The Retreat house an ecclectic mix of mainly New Zealand art, some dating as far back as the late 1800’s. Melanie Eade, an established artist, works from her home studio and offers art tuition to those guests who wish to make Hartley Homestead the place to stay while they capture on canvas the unique landscapes, colours and history of Central Otago.

A wedding on our lawn, in the gazebo or in front of the cart and plum tree followed by champagne and nibbles. A perfect way to start your new life together !
