Anyone recommend somewhere to stay for about eight blokes near the trails, for early next year?
Cheers.

Most people stay and recommend these places. Try the search function. Loads of similar threads/comments.

.....Rotovegas Motel....and have historically been about 5 - 8 blokes. Management are great with the bikes and the motel is right across the road from Countdown (NZ version of Woolworths). It is a 15 minute flat ride to the trails and 10 minute walk into the main restaurant area.

I met a bunch of guys from QLD who booked a place for $3500 for 10 days for 10 people. $35 per night !! Had spas, bike workshop and apparently the fridge was stocked with beer when they turned up.

Check out http://www.bookabach.co.nz/ There are heaps of good options on Book-a-batch and many of them will tell you how close they are to the trails.

If you don't mind staying out of town the Lynmore would be good option, you can ride in via Nursery Rd or the Lynmore Link.

I've stayed at the Alpin twice and I have booked again for Oct - however if you have 4 or more people you will do WAY better renting a house.

Hawkeye We must have come very close to being at the Alpin at the same time. It's a good place to stay, with plenty of room to spread out and the bike wash is very handy. Nice folks too. 165 days until Im back!

I think you were a week or two after me.

Agree about the bike wash.

Loved the geothermal heated pool. Smiling

Alpin is under new management. Still in a good spot, with great but basic facilities including wash stations and spas, just not an mtb tragic running it. Rotavegas is run by an mtb tragic, closer to town but a little further to the trails.
