Where to stay?

Some say we’re in the middle of nowhere… we say, middle of everywhere! Whether you’re fresh off the ferry en route to the annual Queenstown riding holiday, or looking for a suitable halfway stop between Nelson and Christchurch, boom, there we are. While it is totally doable to get up at the crack of sparrows fart and bust out a day trip, its likely that once you’re here you’ll be wishing you’d scheduled a longer stay. Check out the options below, then get planning!

NEW We have a town house!

The Middle Hill MTB town base is located in a sunny and scenic spot on Torquay Street in Kaikoura. It’s even got a spa pool and workspace in the cabin up the hill. Store your bikes in the lockable garage, kick back and relax after a big day on the hill!

This is a great spot to base yourself while you enjoy all that Kaikoura and the surrounding area has to offer. Book directly with us to save some dollars! More details can be found via the link.

The Ram Paddock - Camping

Aren’t we lucky a huge earthquake came along and turned a flat paddock in to a mini hillside with enough gradient to carve some dirt jumps in to the cracks?!

We may have lost the farm cottage in the shake, but we’ve gained a sweet wee playground to base our bike park at. There’s plenty of jumps and drops, a beginner track and a new pump track to enjoy.

For those with a full BYO camping setup, here’s your on-farm accomodation option! There are loos and water (drink at your own risk). BYO all camping and cooking equipment, take all rubbish and recycling away with you.

The Tauhinu Tent sites

(pronounced taa-wini after a lovely dog who is no longer with us!)

What better way to ice the cake of a trip to Middle Hill than with a sweet sweet evening under the stars at the top of the bike park?! Its hard to beat waking to an east coast sunrise, brewing up some coffee in the outdoor kitchen, then dropping straight in to your first run of the day.

We transport you and your gear to and from the site… so that means two extra shuttle laps in the morning if you play your cards right! Your pedal pass is also included with your stay.

There are two platforms where you can put up larger tents. Apart from that, flat ground is a little hard to come by but there’s plenty of great places to roll out your swag and take in the night sky (this is definitely our recommendation!!).

There’s a funky outdoor hot(ish!) shower, and the composting toilet doesn’t have a door - it would be an insult to block that mountain view!

BBQ and cooking stuff provided, there’s even a solar powered fridge and lights!
