NEW ZEALAND BIKING ITINERARY
Trip Length: 9 days/8 nights
Start/Finish: Christchurch/Queenstown
There’s a reason you’ve been seeing so much of New Zealand on
celluloid of late. The pristine, diverse, compact beauty of this
island nation is ripe with fantastical landscapes – snow-capped
glaciers, prehistoric rain forest, rocky coastlines, the
remarkable Tasman Sea.
We think that New Zealand comes alive on a bike, its remote,
isolated beauty stretched out before you as you pedal. Of
course, we always think it’s important to see and experience it
all. In New Zealand, that means touring wineries, cruising among
icebergs to the foot of a glacier, learning now to shear a
sheep, and exploring all the quaint towns along the way.
Trip Highlights:
- Cycle past vineyards and sheep farms on seemingly
endless, deserted country roads
- Learn why New Zealand’s wine industry is taking the
world by storm (don’t worry – we believe in learning through
experience)
- Savour what must surely be the world’s best lamb, salmon
and green-lipped mussels
- Whisk down the Rajaia Gorge in one of New Zealand’s
finest inventions – the jet boat!

Huntley House, Christchurch
Originally built in 1876, this colonial home has been
beautifully remodelled as a boutique hotel in the suburbs of
Christchurch. The stunning gardens, period dining room and

Nestled in the Canterbury Plains with breathtaking views of the
Southern Alps, Terrace Downs offers the perfect combination of

Facing Mount Cook, the Residence is a brand new property in
the sleepy village of Lake Tekapo. Each with their own private
courtyard, our two-storey apartments have been designed in warm
rustic colours to harmonize with our tranquil surroundings. Our
rooms do not have telephones, but what better reminder that
we’ve come to New Zealand to relax and get in touch with nature?
Whare Kea Lodge & Chalet, Lake Wanaka
Relais & Châteaux
Whare Kea Lodge is located on the shores of picturesque Lake
Wanaka, with perfect views of the mountains. With only six room,
you'll feel at home in this Relais & Châteaux property, hidden
