Great Rides

Experience the rural charm, gold mining heritage, and stunning natural landscapes of the Old Ghost Road, an 85km trail that stretches over mountains and valleys and through rushing rivers.

New Zealand’s longest and most diverse Great Walk is opened to mountain bikers between May and November each year. This multi-day trail takes you through the diverse and often surreal landscapes of Kahurangi National Park.

It is one of New Zealand's most memorable one-day adventures for fit mountain bikers. It follows the path of New Zealand’s first railway route, making it one of the country’s most accessible alpine rides.

Tasman's Great Taste Trail is one of New Zealand’s Ngā Haerenga Great Rides. It is a scenic and urban coastal ride where you can choose a section or two and head out for a couple of hours, take the whole day, or enjoy a multi-day biking adventure.

Located in the heart of Mohua Golden Bay, The Mussel Inn has a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere. Their fare is simple and wholesome, and they produce their beers, ciders, and soft drinks in their small on-site brewery.

Craft beer haven and local trail dog favourite.

The Free House Pub is a spot for locals and visitors alike to enjoy a multitude of rotating craft beers from around New Zealand.

Located next to the iconic Riwaka Hotel, our taproom is still in the middle of hop-growing country. It is down the road from the Abel Tasman National Park and a quick pedal away from some epic mountain biking trails. It's also just a one-minute detour from the Great Taste Cycle Trail.
