Overview

For just a few months over summer, Ben Lomond Lodge is available for individual bookings for mountain bikers and e-mountain bikers.

Mountain biking to Ben Lomond Lodge is an epic adventure and the routes on Ben Lomond Station link well with other Queenstown Mountain Bike Club trails. Our comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen and hot showers provide a welcome reward for negotiating the adventurous ride in. For those wishing to explore further on foot from Ben Lomond Lodge, a multi night stay creates the opportunity to explore a range of day walks of varying length and difficulty (from 4-20km in length). For very experienced mountain bikers there are additional routes through which to further explore the station, and as keen mountain bikers your hosts will enjoy sharing these with you.
