About this property

Farmstay, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, (Sleeps 10).
Mahaanui Quarters is a self-contained, private, basic accommodation - located in the beautiful Tiniroto, half way between Gisborne and Wairoa (approx. 50 minutes driving either way).

The Quarters is fully furnished - with 3 Bedrooms which can sleep up to 10 people in total, and 2 Bathrooms.

The kitchen is well equipped with basic cooking provisions such as flour, sugar, tea, coffee, spices, oil, etc.

With everything you need, it really is the perfect place for friends and families to have an enjoyable and relaxing country break. Or perhaps an active farm experience.

We encourage you to go walking over the 614 hectares of farmland during your stay, or venture over to the scenic Hangaroa River or Doneraille Park – both only minutes away.

So whether it be to walk, swim, kayak, fish, picnic, cycle or just relax with a book! We invite you to take some time to join us and enjoy the picturesque scenery, explore the farm and experience our country way of life.

All backpackers and travellers are welcome. There is the option to share accomodation for a daily rate per person (email inquiry only) or rent the quarters completely. There is a cleaning service available should you not want to clean the house on your departure.

Linen available for $10 per person per stay which includes sheets, duvet, pillow, towels and flannels. Alternatively you can bring your own. All beds have mattress protectors.

Clean and tidy property. A great place to get away from it all, but also able to do day trips if you wish. Great farm views and a river not far away. Friendly and helpful hosts.

Great mid winter getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property is well set up for a big family group and being able to bring the dog was a real plus. Simon was very friendly and helpful and the kids loved walking the farm tracks and interacting with the animals. The wood fire was most welcome - especially during a power cut!

Hidden Gem .... Amazing place to spend holiday
The trip took us out of the Gisborne City on the Tiniroto suburb as we headed through picturesque rolling hills and farm lands. What an amazing place to enjoy a long weekend with family and celebrate a lil one's birthday. We enjoyed our trip to the core. Sally & Simon are so kind and loving property managers live close by and be there any time we need them. Place is extremely tidy and very presentable just like home away from home. Thanks a lot we will definitely visit again

Ideal rural family getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at Mahaanui Quarters... well set up, affordable family accommodation in a beautiful farm setting. We found Sally and Simon warm and friendly, and appreciated their relaxed approach letting the kids explore some of the surrounding farm:-).

Breath taking spot
Couldn't ask for a better experience than this!! The house was clean, tidy, well equipped which is perfect for family/ groups. Communication was easy and we were welcome with some delicious slices. Still couldn't get over how beautiful the place is. It might be a drive from the main tourist area, but it was so worth it. Will definitely come back again!!
