Great experience!

We four had a very enjoyable ride on this rail trail. The two staff were very personable and we enjoyed their interactions! On our return we were a little disappointed that there was no memorabilia available to buy. Something you might like to look into - even a fridge magnet or similar would have been great!

Great experience

Great to see use being made of the old Rotorua railway line. Would be fantastic if use of the track beyond Mamaku in the future.

NZ at its best

Free ice cream! But seriously, I thought we were going to cycle the 28 km, instead we had a small covered train for ourselves. 14 km each way - coffee, milo, tea at the mid point. Charming, interesting and fun. Glad they provided blankets as we were last trip of the day and caught amazing sunsets and the most charming NZ scenery around. The staff made us so so welcome and source of interesting info too.
