Kudos to Moa Tours for organising such a great trip. Te Wai Poumanu is beautiful in April with all the autumn colours. This was my first trip with Moa and I have already booked a second one. Special mention must be made of our guide Andrew. His knowledge, passion and enthusiasm shone throughout and he has a great sense of humour, much appreciated when dealing with so many diverse customers. He always went the extra mile to make everyone’s journey enjoyable. I would highly recommend both Moa and Andrew for kiwis wanting to experience the beauty of their own country.

I had the best experience with Time Unlimited Tours, they were so prompt with their service. I had a group of 70 people getting transported from one venue to another. It was absolutely hassle free and my guests were very impressed! They were on time, so kind and helpful. Neill and Ceillhe are the loviest people and I just can't recommend their service enough!! 10/10 across the board. I would use this company again, ANY day of the week!

Fabulous stay at the Lodge. Friendly staff and tasty food. Welcomed with a hearty home made pizza and beverage of choice. The large wood burner in the communal lounge made this a very relaxed place to enjoy other riders company and share our stories. The rooms were very clean and beds comfortable. Our dinner was tasty and a cooked breakfast sent us on our way to complete the trail. We were provided with a packed lunch and plenty of resources were available to repair bikes, dry out our clothes and recharge ebikes. As many of us arrived at the lodge between 3.00 and 4.00, we felt maybe a 6.30 dinner instead of 7.00 would have suited us better. However Im sure others may have preferred the later dinner time. Thankyou Garth for your hospitality. We will definitely be back This has been a highlight in my biking calendar...maybe because I was on my new ebike this time!!!!!
