Country hide away cottage in a picturesque stunning rural area.

Mahaanui Cottage is a fully furnished, self-contained, private, country cottage located in the beautiful Tiniroto, half way between Gisborne and Wairoa (approx. 50 minutes driving either way).

With everything you need for an enjoyable stay, the cottage is perfect for friends and families looking for a relaxing country break. Or active farm experience.

With 3 spacious bedrooms, it comfortably sleeps up to 8 people. And if needed, a double sofa-bed and extra single bed can be added in one of the lounges – to sleep an extra 3 people. Plus there's plenty of room for tents in the cottage garden!

The kitchen is well equipped and has basic food provisions such as flour, sugar, cooking oil, spices, tea and coffee but you will have to bring all your other food with you.

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.

This was the first time we have stayed in a place like this, usually it is camp grounds or motels, and we had a wonderful time. If you want to spend time on a farm away from any technology and town life then this is the place to come. Our children loved being out with the animals and walking through the paddocks, I got the rest and relaxation I had been searching for for so long, and my husband was able to step away from work. The hosts were amazing! Kind, caring, and so very helpful with everything! The cottage is gorgeous! You wake up to a stunning view of the surrounding hills and hearing tuis’ singing and sheep in the paddock, and you can end the day curled up in front of the fire with a book or a board game. We will be back to stay again, and it will be for a lot longer than just a weekend.

Hidden gem
Tucked away in the hills is this lil gem - perfect for getting away from it all. We enjoyed the farm walks & spending time by the river, dogs had an absolute blast & tons of space to stretch their legs. We met the pigs & said hi to the horses & donkey plus meeting wee Fig (the dog) was a pleasure as he joined us on a wee walk. Thank you for having us

Great place, amazing hosts & relaxed holiday!
Wish we had a few more days to stay - We had an awesome Christmas break with family and friends and the farm stay ( first time) at Sally’s was a perfect spot to unwind! Kids had a great time with the puppies ! Thank you Sally for letting us stay at yours, very welcoming & a comfortable stay! Your gluten free brownies were such a hit!!

Peaceful and cosy
We had a lovely stay at this property. The cottage was cosy with 2 wood burners, plenty of games to play, a stereo, a well equipped kitchen and comfy beds. There are plenty of walks in the area, and the owner's dog at the nearby property was very friendly and joined us for one of them! Thank you

Great spot out of Gisborne
While this is a bit out of Gisborne, I'm not sure you need to head into town with all the great natural attractions nearby. Beautiful countryside with good swimming spots.
