Bike Hike Stay, Tours and Packages

Great bikes and Greta was very welcoming and helpful in setting us up with bikes, suggesting routes and generally ensuring that we had a great trip!

We have completed around six tours with Greta (Bikehikestay) from one day to the eight day tour of a few days ago. What a fantastic tour it was, Hamilton to Christchurch, Akaroa, Trans Alpine Express, Hokitika & Hanmer spings with lots of activities along the way.We have found Greta well organised a competent driver & a very caring person who looks after us.Thank you so much Greta.Anne & Frank

I have been on about 5 trips with Greta now. I always enjoy them and plan to do more. Greta is so gentle and kind with everyone and very supportive. I highly recommend Greta and her tours and packages, you wont be disappointed.

What a great day out yesterday in Taupo. Greta, our hostess was wonderful, very customer-focused ensuring everyone had an amazing fun-packed day. We got to enjoy Aratiatia Dam's daily opening of the flood gates, Lava Glass, a picnic lunch by Lake Taupo, The Honey Shoppe, Wairekei Terraces and lastly a long soak in the hot pools. Will definitely be doing another tour soon!

I’ve been on quite a few trips with bike hire and stay! Greta is amazing! She treats her customers with love, kindness, courtesy and care! She goes off the beaten track and we have the most wonderful experiences with her. I’ve learned so much about the fauna and flora of our beautiful country because of her tours! I would totally recommend joining her tours! Experience it for yourselves and there will be no turning back! Thank you Greta for opening a new world of amazing adventures for me! I’m looking forward to many more experiences with your tour company!

I have been on three day tours with Greta now. On all occasions I have found Greta an extremely caring and thoughtful host. She always ensures everyone is OK and is extremely customer-focused and well organised. She is always calm and adds to the enjoyment of the day. I will keep coming back for more of the day tours. Thank you Greta.

18th March to 28th March.Otago, Southland and Stewart IslandFirstly Greta is a terrific tour guide. Makes each person feel so special.She comes up with alternatives if needed.Six of us travelled in a van {Greta is an excellent driver] and our accommodation was comfortable and spacious and we felt safe in Covid times keeping in our bubble.We were most fortunate to have glorious weather warm and blue skies through out apart from fog early am in Dunedin.The scenery in the south is to die for. Absolutely stunning in late summer and into Autumn.MY aim was to see Kiwis in the wild on Stewart Island, which I did on a night tour. One Kiwi on the beach and one in the bush.Drive to Te Anau, Milford Sound, Wanaka and then back to Dunedin was very picturesque. We saw many little gems that Greta had sourced through out the trip.One of my best ever trips. I have travelled the world and lived in six different countries since my twenties and NZ is a beautiful place.I recommend going on Greta's trips even if you have been there before.she somehow manages to find something special.

Greta took the Cambridge Tramping Club to Whakatane so they could walk from Whakatane to Ohope then back again in a loop. For those of us not so fit, we went for a long walk along the beach and explored some of the route.

Tony and Greta were both so lovely and extremely helpful. The bikes were excellent with baskets and high vis vests added for those in our party that wanted them. Greta gave us directions, advice, a map and also bottles of chilled water. Highly recommend hiring bikes from Tony and Greta!

I really enjoyed the recent trip with BikeHikeStay to Southland, Otago and Stewart Island. Every day was packed with interesting places to see without being over busy and making us unduly tired. Greta is very good at catering for people's individual interests and nothing is too much trouble with her. Her driving is exemplary and I never had any cause for concern. The group of six people we had in our van was just the right size. Almost like a family group except that, although we were consulted from time to time, we never had to think about where and when to go, how to get there, the time, accommodation etc. All this is handled by Greta in a quiet, unassuming way. A treasured trip to remember. Rosemary
