Meet Matt & Carolyn...
With a deep love for the outdoors and a welcoming spirit, we can't wait to host you at The Claim and help make your travel adventure memorable.
A family-owned and operated business, Matt and Carolyn have spent their life enjoying everything from rock climbing, tramping, hunting, kayaking, and fishing; and are now also avid lovers of everything on two wheels, from cruisey Sunday rides to adventurous mountain escapades. With three young lads, they are often enjoying the regions Bike Parks and exploring lesser known features.
This love with the outdoors and with our region has led us to create individual accommodation spaces that enable visitors and guests to experience the same sense of freedom, inspiration and passion in their adventures.
We’re here if you want local tips; whether it's a great loop ride, a nearby vineyard, or a hidden walking track.
The Claim is a base, not just to stay, but to explore from.
So whether you’re pedaling the Lake Dunstan Trail, wine tasting in Bannockburn, or simply chasing wide open space — we hope you feel at home here!
At The Claim we are proud to partner with one of the original pioneering wine making families of the region and their brand Dicey Wines, to bring you a unique visitor experience...
The Dicey brand encapsulates the trail-blazing, artistic, raw-to-earth values of the region- values we love and share
Matt and Carolyn are proud supporters of the Mokihi Reforestation Trust. One of our passions is to see the restoration of native plant ecosystems along our rivers and landscapes.
A percentage of your stay will be donated to the incredible work Mokihi Reforestation Trust do in helping Central Otago’s unique ecosystems to recover and flourish
