We cycled the trail with our three children aged 11 10 and 8 over 5 days. Our Itinery was perfect for us and everything went super smoothly... we loved all our accomodation apart from Inverlair lodge which was disappointing for the price we paid. Loved all the reccomendations for cafes, pubs along the way, food was outstanding. Central Cycle Trail Co. made it super easy, bikes were awesome and really lovely arrival in Middlemarch with hot choccies for kids on beanbags in the sun 🤩 Trip was above expectations, April perfect time of year to go.
From pick up at the airport, to getting bikes sorted, to have accommodation all sorted and also lovely restaurants booked ... It all was very well done! Friendly and helpful staff, doing their very best to sort out any issues immediately. Bikes were very comfortable and enjoyable!
I cant fault our experience with Central Cycle Trail Co. Bikes were great, accommodation excellent we didn't have to think about anything and the cost was very reasonable. I would highly recommend. This is a great blue print for the other great rides in NZ.
From Pip & Lauren organising our accommodation and logistics, to Audry & Dave carrying out our transfers and face-to-face, we (group of seven friends) had a fantastic time in May, cycling from Middlemarch to Clyde. The bikes, the accommodation, the restaurants, the attention to detail - everything was perfect. Even the weather played its part. Thank you so much. Would not hesitate to recommend Cycle Surgery to anyone thinking about doing this trip.
We (5 mates), have just finished the Otago Central Rail Trail with Central Cycle Trail Co. From before the trip, the communication were clear and they were very flexible as they allowed us to add 1 additional person in the last minute. The bikes were very comfortable and durable and the accommodation for both nights were fantastic. The Old Post Office at Omakau was an absolute gem and the outdoor jacuzzi after a day of riding was a welcomed surprise. The ride itself was spectacular. Overall the cost for the bike/equipment/accommodation/dinner was very reasonable and a great value. The team which met us on the first day, and on the last day were accommodating and easy to deal with.
Central Cycle Trail Co. arranged our 5 day ride on the OCRT and everything went totally as planned. The bikes were well maintained and very solid. My spouse had an e-bike and it was faultless. I might try one on the next long ride! All of the accommodation and transfers were seamless. All of the accommodation was first rate with all of the hosts will to go the extra mile for us. The Taleri Gorge rail trip that transferred us on to Dunedin was a fitting way of finishing such a great vacation. Thanks Pip for making the trip so memorable.
