E-bikes and Mountain Bikes

We are very passionate about cycling at Lakestone Lodge.

We have a fleet of complimentary Specialized mountain bikes for use around the Lake Pukaki foreshore directly in front of the lodge. This is part of the 300km Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail.

We also have e-bikes available to hire and recommend a 40km loop around Twizel starting and finishing at Lakestone Lodge with the following highlights

Alps 2 Ocean off road cycle trail around Lake Pukaki
Lake Pukaki Visitor Centre - a great display by Ngai Tahu on the Maori history of the area
Alps 2 Ocean off road cycle trail to Twizel over the Pukaki Flats
Twizel for lunch/snacks
Lake Ruataniwha
Ohau A power station
Flat, sealed hydro canal roads (not very busy and cars are speed restricted)
No riding on any highways or busy roads

E-bikes are $100 per bike per day to hire (or $60 for a short ride just around the lake foreshore)

Our e-bikes:

A good quality Melo Yelo e-Bike with a decent motor and battery which should be good 50-140km depending on input
Helmet
Detailed maps
Pannier bag for extras (clothes, camera etc)
Drink bottle holder
Hi-vis vest for canal roads
Bike lock
Bike repair kit (tube, pump, multi-tool).
Basic first aid kit
Throttle to give your legs a little break from peddling (we recommend limited use of this though as it will decrease the battery quicker)
The lodge will pick you up if you have a mechanical breakdown (you may be required to walk to the closest road).

Came here for a week of relaxation. You don’t need to even leave your room to experience amazing views and all the activities/hikes nearby are great. I highly recommend the A2O trail on the east side of the lake. Staff was very kind and helped organize everything for me (I didn’t...

This small lodge has excellent and very helpful staff. the rooms are good and the food is excellent. However the crowning glory for my wife and I was the magnificent view along the lake with Aoraki Mount Cook central to the view surrounded by other snow covered mountains in the Southern Alps.

We have stayed here a few times now, and it still exceeds expectations each time. The location of course is one of the most special places in all of NZ. The quality of the rooms and little design touches are special highlights. And then to top it all the welcoming and friendly service...
