Rail Trail Accommodation Ranfurly | Whole House on the Trail | Lohi Linen.
A whole house on the Rail Trail, beside Ranfurly Station
Ride in, park the bikes in the lounge, shower, walk to dinner. Start tomorrow already on the trail.
This is a newly renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom house that sits directly on the Otago Central Rail Trail next to the old railway station in Ranfurly. It's ours, it's yours for the night, and there's nobody else in it.
We set it up for riders who'd rather finish the day in comfort than in a bunkroom. Two couples get a bathroom each. A solo rider or a pair gets far more space than they need. The lounge is big enough to wheel the bikes inside and hang the gear to dry.
What you get
- Whole house to yourselves, sleeps four
- Two bedrooms, two modern bathrooms
- New kitchen, washing machine, Wi-Fi, TV
- Large lounge with room for bikes and drying gear
- Self check-in with a key safe, so arrive when you arrive
- Free parking if someone's driving the support car
Where you are
On the trail, in the middle of Ranfurly. Two minutes' walk to The Thirsty Moa for coffee in the morning and wine at night, and the same to the pub, the Four Square and the pharmacy. No shuttle, no detour, no backtracking to town.
Ranfurly sits roughly halfway along the trail, which makes it a natural overnight whether you're riding from Clyde or from Middlemarch. If you've got a spare day, here's what's around.

This is our last season with the house before it goes to a new use, so if you've got trail dates, it pays to lock them in.
Who we are
We're Russ and Tania. We run The Thirsty Moa and Lohi Linen on Charlemont Street, a short walk from the house, and we've lived in the Maniototo long enough to tell you which way the wind's coming from tomorrow. Ask us anything about the trail.
