Marainanga Station Accommodation and more.....

Set in the historic grounds of a working station, The Shearers Quarters is nestled on the bank of the Akitio River. It has recently been renovated with new beds and decor. The layout is typical of a traditional shearers quarters in that it has bedrooms leading onto an external verandah. There is two internal bedrooms. The bedrooms consist of :
4x Queen rooms with 2x king single beds.
4 x single rooms with single bunk beds.
1x Queen room with 1x queen bed and 1x single bed
Linen provided but please bring your own towels.
We have just completed a renovation by adding a huge living room with french doors opening onto a big deck overlooking the Akitio River. Now with two living rooms it is perfect for big groups and families. Gas has been installed for hot water. It has three showers and two loos. There is plenty of parking and is only a short distance to the untouched, remote coastline and sandy swimming beaches- there's something for everyone. The Akitio Boat Club is open if you need to watch a rugby game or have a drink with fantastic views. As we are a working Station there is generally always someone around to answer questions or help out with anything.
Farm tracks are available to walk or ride your horse. We have a secure yard for your horse with trough water. Bring your own hay.
We have four track options-
5k high rise loop
7km river walk
13km top of the world
18km outback track

We can provide a picnic box lunch for your outing on the farm and platters can be ordered to kick off your evening after a day out.
