Just an hour out of Christchurch on the scenic road to Hanmer Springs, is Frog Rock - a local landmark that sees thousands of people pull over every year to photograph this stone amphibian! It is also the site of the historic "Frog Rock" railway station.
Frog Rock is a quaint and charming point of interest. The reviews highlight the importance of caution when visiting, as the rail track is active and trains pass regularly. One reviewer experienced trouble by walking along the rail track and warns others to avoid doing so. However, the majority of the reviews praise the location, describing it as "lovely," "cut" and "adorable." The station is said to be well worth a 10-minute stop, with a direct path to the top past a little apple tree. The views from the station are complimented, with one review mentioning the beautiful flowers everywhere and the great view down the rail track and towards the mountains. Overall, Frog Rock seems to be a pleasant and picturesque destination, but with the importance of prioritizing safety in mind.
