Bike Hire in Rotorua
Hey Guys,
Can anyone recommend somewhere in Rotorua to hire a decent MTB? Or maybe a guided tour?
I'll be in NZ with the family for a holiday & will only be able to manage a day riding, so I don't really want to haul my bike all over the place.
I like the idea of maybe doing a guided day tour too, since I'll be riding by myself - the family are not very keen & would rather do more touristy stuff.
I've seen http://www.mtbrotorua.co.nz/ & http://www.planetbike.co.nz/ but any advice would be grateful.
Cheers

I used those guys, parked right at the enterance to the forest and had trails galore to choose from.
nice blokes, very helpful, good bikes, spectacular trails. real highlight of my holiday.
My research a year ago found these guys to be the best value

I hired a Scott Genius for NZD75 for the day or you can get a Yeti 575 for $100 and you can ride straight into the trails from there
Try Planet Bike - they are at the mtb park - very friendly, excellent service.
They should be paying you to ride those horrible Yetis or Scotts!
Stupid thing to say...
Don't be so hard on Discodan. But you're right, I would never recommend a friend ride a Yeti or Scott.
Thanks for all the advice guys, I ended up getting a full suss GT Distortion for the day from MTB Rotorua. They have a couple of sheds right at the trailhead closest to where I was staying (Weipa Mill Rd) so it super convenient. I had a blast - definitely need to spend more time there....
