Mahaanui is located in the beautiful Tiniroto, halfway between Gisborne (approx. 1.5 hr drive) and Wairoa (approx. 1 hr drive). 

A warm welcome to you!

Located in the heart of beautiful Tiniroto, Mahaanui Farmstay Experience offers three private, unique accommodation options. 

• The Mahaanui River Cabin Retreat, an off-grid private retreat for two.
• The Mahaanui Cottage for up to 8 people.
• The Mahaanui Quarters for solo travellers or groups of up to 10 people.

​
There are endless opportunities for guests to explore and experience life on a traditional, hill-country farm.
​
Walk, swim, kayak, fish, picnic, cycle or just relax with a book under a tree.

With everything you need for an enjoyable stay, Mahaanui Farmstay Experience is perfect for independent travellers, groups of friends, couples or families looking for a refreshing country break.

Stay a while and enjoy stunning rural landscapes, incredible sunsets and night skies, fun river excursions, friendly pet animals, active farm adventures and our lovely native bush and birdlife.

Join us for some warm, friendly Mahaanui hospitality and an unforgettable experience. 

Mahaanui is the Maori word for "lots of joy or happiness" and we hope you find some of that when you stay with us.
