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 . The Carriage is a seperate building adjacent to The Quarters with 3x bedrooms consisting of 2x KS bed in each. It has power but not bathroom. It’s only skip hop and jump to the bathrooms at The Quarters. In total it sleeps 25 people. Dogs are welcome on application. 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.
