WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Just a brief note to say “thank you” for all your help in organizing my trip on the Otago Rail Trail. Everything went smoothly and I had a great time. Please also pass on my thanks to Cycle Surgery and to Brian from Catch-A-Bus. Hope to visit New Zealand again some time soon.

Sonya, Cayman Islands


We are home again with such good memories of riding the Rail Trail. Thank you so much for organising everything for us - it was such a splendid way to have a holiday. Thank you too for the delicious dinner and breakfast - what a way to start! We'll be back in Central Otago again.

Ashley and Margaret Blair, Pukerua Bay


We have returned to Auckland and now have a chance to think upon our marvellous Rail Trail. Our whole group – all 22 had nothing but praise for you two and the marvellous hospitality and generous consideration you showed us all, particularly our daughter Katherine who broke her arm so early into the expedition!

You did a superb job in organising everything and gave us such sound advice which greatly enhanced our Central Otago Rail Trail Experience. Everyone just loved it and everything went so smoothly. We are so glad we went the Middlemarch to Clyde way and we loved the riverbank journey from Alex to Clyde.

We are extremely grateful to you both for making it such a marvellous experience for all! We will be toasting you tomorrow as we are having our Rail Trail Dinner De Brief! Be Assured we will be warmly recommending you to any possible rail trailers!

Louise and Neville Porter et al.


I am writing to thank you very, very , very much for your hospitality when we stayed in Middlemarch. Your camp and catering is second to none.

Also, you organised a lot of the detail of our Rail Trail Ride and return to Dunedin. Everything went perfectly. No hitches, hold ups or forgotten bits. I emphasise this because we met another large group who were organised from Timaru and they had heaps of problems. Incidentally, we struck pretty good weather and had the best three days riding ever!

We continue to sing your praises and recommend you to anyone interested in Central Otago.


Dianne Nicholson, New Zealand


A BIG thank you for organising the Otago Rail Trail trip for us after such short notice! Only regret was finishing in Wedderburn, and not completing the track , so maybe in the future we will give you both another call with a bit more notice......

Very well organised and we would recommend anyone to contact Blind Billy's Rail Trail Services.

Just a short note to thank you both for organising our holiday. We had a fantastic time - although we did hit a very strong northerly wind on Tuesday morning which just about finished me off when we set off from Ranfurly on day 2. However, we did make it and thanks to your help we had really good accommodation along the way and our bags sent on ahead really helped.  Musn't forget the great brekkie from you guys at Middlemarch as well. Just what we needed to send us off on our way.
 
Once again a big thank you. All of our friends are interested to have a go now as well so I am referring you on to heaps of people.

Next time I do the trail I want to walk it - take some time to hear the silence!!

Thanks again!

Shirley and David Walker


Our group had the motel and some cabins at your holiday camp. I must say how impressed I was with the cabins, and the great idea of the table with seats being under cover but outside of cabins.

Comfortable beds, nice out look, lovely camp.
