    “我预订的是Mahaanhi quater，现场建议主人让我住在他们自己的房子内，主人同意了，感觉环境更加温暖一些。那个民宿需要驾车前往的，有半小时的路为沙石，需要谨慎驾驶。主人带我上山看他如何运营技能管理牛羊，还带了四条训练有素的牧羊犬前往，影响深刻，我的兴致满满”

Mahaanui Quarters is a self-contained, private, basic accommodation - located in the beautiful Tiniroto, half way between Gisborne and Wairoa. Mahaanui is situated approximately 53km from Gisborne or Wairoa on the main inland road, Tiniroto Rd. Please allow 1 hour for your journey. *Please note that google maps does not aThe 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!
Located in the beautiful Tiniroto, Mahaanui Station is a 614 hectare working sheep and beef farm. Simon's father Peter bought Mahaanui (Maori word for lots of joy/happiness) in the late 1950's and cleared the land of scrubby trees to develop pasture for sheep and cattle to graze on. Simon has worked the farm since he was 25 and loves to share his farming knowledge and lifestyle with guests. Sally works at the local Gisborne hospital as a nurse and helps Simon when needed on the farm. While their 3 children (all currently travelling overseas), have all followed in similar footsteps - working on farms around the world and studying agricultural sciences at university. Perhaps the best thing about Mahaanui is it’s not Rotorua or Queenstown. Instead what Simon and Sally offer guests is a peaceful, quiet and relaxing farm experience - full of breathtaking hill country with marked walking trails, private access to the gorgeous Hangaroa River and the opportunity to experience farming activities if they wish. They truly love sharing their piece of paradise with guests and introducing them to their farming lifestyle.
Perhaps the most exciting thing on offer at Mahaanui Farmstay are Simon and Sally’s guided farm tours (on foot or in a farm vehicle) and shearing/mustering demonstrations. These interactive activities are perfect for groups of all ages, and make for a fun and educational experience! For those interested, group recommendations and pricing can be arranged with Sally either prior to or upon guest arrival. However please note that all farm tours and demonstrations are subject to Simon’s availability, and unfortunately cannot always be guaranteed. There are also marked walking tracks for guests to enjoy during their stay – one along the Hangaroa River & one that ventures off through the paddocks and out towards the back of the farm. Equally as beautiful there are also a number of unmarked tracks worth exploring. With gorgeous river and hill-side views in every direction, the photo opportunities are endless! Some other nearby landmarks to check out include the Hackfalls Arboretum, Rere Rockslide and Ruakituri Valley – well known for its excellent trout fishing. And for those keen on exploring a little further, Mahia and Lake Waikaremoana are only an 1.5 hour drive away.
