A picturesque ride connecting Arrowtown, the countryside trail, and the beautiful Lake Hayes. Starting at our Arrowtown Base Dudley’s Cottage, work your way through Millbrook, down Christine’s hill, then loop around Lake Hayes and back to Arrowtown where you started.
Along the way you’ll see majestic mountains reflected in the glassy lake and the earthy tones of the landscape. This ride offers a million and one “Kodak moments”. In the summertime take a picnic and your togs for a dip in the lake, or pop into Amisfield or Mora Wines & Artisan Kitchen for some fine wine and cuisine.
We provide bikes, helmets, maps, backpacks/panniers, and full trail support.
Our 24 hour cancellation policy allows for great flexibility when planning your trip. If you contact us at least 24 hours before your booking date we can transfer to a new date at no cost, or cancel your booking for a full refund.
In cases of inclement weather (very rare) we will make a call on the day whether it is acceptable riding conditions or not. If the ride can not go ahead we will try to reschedule or refund the trip.
We are based here at Dudley’s Cottage and our neighbours at The Dishery certainly know how to make a good coffee. This is a great spot for a light breakfast or lunch, gold panning and souvenirs made in NZ.
Without a doubt our favourite burgers are made here. We recommend the Jack ‘n’ Yack (secret burger not on the menu) and smashed potatoes.

Amisfield is a fantastic location to enjoy fine wine and food. We choose their signature “Trust the Chef” menu with wine match, as it’s a great way to try food and wine that you probably wouldn’t have thought to try.

Our favourite around the Lake Hayes ride. Great wine and food. Enjoy the beautiful garden setting and the historic cottage. You can’t go wrong.
