Reviewed By alr962

We had our car relocated from Lyell to the end of the Old Ghost Road. Buller Adventures provided an excellent service with great communication and we also got bonus shower vouchers so we could have a shower at the end at the Rough and Tumble lodge. Having the car waiting for us at the end was the perfect way to end a perfect trip.
