Great trail. Great food and drink - The first half of the trail is easy and full of wonderful food and drink. The second half is technical. Our legs are sore the next day. What views! What fun! The bikes were in great shape. Hosts were friendly and knowledgeable.

A fantastic addition to NZ's cycling trails. - This trail was the first part of a two week trip around the central Otago cycling trails all of which were organised by CCT. They were brilliant! This is the second time we have used the company (they were called Cycle Surgery, the first time two years ago) We were shuttled to Cromwell for the start of the ride after being fitted out with our bikes the previous day-first time we had used E-bikes so a little bit of trepidation there!! However, the bikes were easy to get used to and the start of the ride gave us plenty of time to work out how to get the best out of them. Unless you are exceptionally fit, e-bikes are the way to go and we didn't regret our decision. A wonderful experience but we had to be very attentive as parts of the trail are very narrow and there are a number of blind corners to negotiate. Nervous riders perhaps beware! All in all, a great experience. Whilst we initially thought that having done the ride once, that was enough. However on reflection i feel a second time is warranted just to enjoy more the scenery with more breaks .

Friendly, efficient staff and well-maintained comfortable bikes - Efficient, friendly staff at Central Cycle Trail Company in Clyde. I rented an e-bike to ride the Lake Dunstan Cycle Trail with my son and his partner who rented normal (manual) bikes from the Central Cycle Trail Company. Our bikes were dropped off at Pisa Moorings and care was taken over fitting before we headed off to cycle via Cromwell and Bannockburn to Clyde. All bikes were well-maintained and comfortable to ride - all had gel saddle covers. A couple of days later I hired a normal bike from CCT - again, a well maintained bike. It made for an equally enjoyable ride via the River Trail to Alexandra and onwards to Doctor's Point on the Roxburgh Gorge Trail before turning round and cycling to Alexandra and back to Clyde via the Otago Rail Trail. Many thanks to the helpful, friendly team at Central Cycle Trails for a great time cycling the trails in Central Otago. I would certainly rent bikes from them again.

Great service, best eBikes! - Take a day to cycle Lake Dunstan, great views, lots of places to stop and rest and take in the view. Interesting trail with lots of different sections from s-bends to long straights and to top it off, the best eBikes from Central Cycle Trails. Professional service, easy to meet them, get setup on the bikes, fitted helmets, panniers and an easy tutorial at the start. The bikes were also new and by the far the best ones I have used. Great experience and would use them again.

Good except for the desk staff - Christine is so good, as are most of the staff - excellent- although one disclaimer. When there was a miscommunication with our booking, discovered when luckily I checked in a day early, the two women behind the desk were most negative and quite disappointing to deal with. Good service would have it that clients would be reassured that everything that could be done, would. Christine’s cheery nature helped greatly to mitigate the problem.

A Great Day out but check! - A great day out, quite a challenge for a 80+ but very enjoyable. Fairly new bike with good tyres, brakes and powerful. However there were two negative points: No "step through" bikes available, they were all "hard tail" bikes. If you need "step through" check and maybe look elsewhere. Our bikes were not capable of taking panniers. On a hot day you don't want a rucksack on your back. Finally, arrive in sufficient time to make sure the bike is set up to fit you a well as possible.

Exceptional Service & Experience - An absolute must do if you're able, the Dunstan trail exceeded our expectations and Central Cycles managed to provide up with everything we needed even when they were fully booked. We've just completed 2 weeks in the South Island and this was the ONLY example of keeping up under peak load, well done to the entire team.
