Spa Park
Great Setting & a choice of temperatures to suit, from warm to HOT.
Quite easy to find: Head up Spa Road: Past the Bungy on your left is Spa Park. Park in carpark & follow path down to the river. (Follow the Huka Falls trail). Do respect the area & plse don't litter.

Mountain Bike Station
Awesome service from Darren & the team at Mountain Bike Station, by the Ohakune Railway Station.
Just as promised, the Old Coach Road ride really was their flagship package: Darren gave us the history of the route while transporting our family of 4 novice riders (incl 2 boys of 12 & 15) to Horopito for the very scenic ride back to Ohakune. After checking our mtn biking experience (practically zilch!) Darren explained everything we needed to know for a fun, safe ride, and decked us out with all equipment required. It's no push-chair track, but AMAZING, interesting scenery en route. My 15 year-old's reaction was "Epic, I LOVED IT!" I'd recommend it as a fantastic summer ride. I couldn't fault the bikes, gear and service we got from Mountain Bike Station. Bruce

Ohakune Old Coach Road
The local community has done a fantastic job of restoring this historic track - with more improvements planned apparently.
A great family walk/ride with some stunning scenary. We hired bikes for the family from "Mountain Bike Station" in Ohakune. Darren provided awesome bikes & helpful Kiwi service. It's no push-chair track, but your efforts are rewarded with some amazing the views & great insights into the history. My 15 year-old's reaction was "Epic, I LOVED IT!" I'd recommend it as a fantastic summer ride/walk.
