★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This company provided a great service to get me to the start of the trail and have my gear available for overnight camping at the half way mark. Just needed to be a bit more detail on the process when the booking was made. One thing to note that the DOC camp ground was 700m away from the lodge where the gear was dropped off meaning having to ferry my gear to the campground. It would have been helpful to know this before the trip.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Victoria and her team at the Shuttle were more than helpful and accommodating. Friendly and informative with no hanging about. Rob had us up the road and along the way to the lodge in no time at all. We had the pleasure of his local knowledge as well as some quirky stories to add into the mix!! News of rugby Greats and local farming tips helped to pass the time. Arrived at the beautiful lodge and everything was in order. A great start, thanks to the Shuttle team. (It would be awesome if the shower worked at the base on the return, especially on those very hot and sticky days). But an awesome experience. Thanks

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We did the Timber Trail with a small group of friends. We had a mixture of mountain biking experience. We had a fabulous time. From the pickup to when we finished the ride and cleaned our bikes everything was brilliant, streamlined and professional. The weather was mixed so the track was quite muddy in parts which didn't detract from the experience at all. The commentary provided by the shuttle drivers was thorough, enthusiastic and interesting. The accommodation at Timber Trail Lodge was warm, comfortable and clean, and the staff were so lovely... plenty of good humour! The bike track itself was well maintained and signposted with interesting information, and adequate warning signs.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ They provided great condition bikes and shuttle services. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
If you are going to rent bikes from them, some tips that we think could be useful to know before booking and getting on the trail:
1) E-Bike with full suspension were limited amount, so book ahead. Only E-Bike seemed working well for my partner though.
2) Adjust the bike for perfect fitting, saddle position, brake lever and gear selector, to check shock air pressure (like me, very light weight so needed light air pressure)
3) Trying to bring your own more grip pedals to avoid unpleasant/unsafe slipping-off. I actually stood on pedals most time when long distance bumpy downhill riding.
4) Rental helmet was a bit smelly. I wish I could have known this)
5) Bottle holder available on the bike so you can bring a right size water bottle rather than carrying all the water on your back.
6) Gel seat was usually and more comfortable to ride on rough terrains.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Friendly and informative staff. Safe and secure transport for the bikes, a great way to start an awesome bike ride. We did the ride in one day, next time we'll be staying at the Timber Trail Lodge, again a super friendly team, a great place to stay and add something special to the experience.
