You'll enjoy warm, comfortable accommodation, there's a place to clean your bike, a compressor if you wish to pump your tyres up. We are ready to help make your ride a neat experience!

We're located close to the intersection of Te Wera road, Tahora road and Rakauroa road. We're 20km from Matawai, 34km from Motu Community House; and 40km from Eastwoodhill Arboretum.

You can stay for just one night, or, Te Wera Homestead could be a great base for a few days. There are several rides around the area, including the 50km Te Wera-Rakauroa loop.

  • "We love this trail and do it reasonably regularly. On this day the weather was perfect, the sea was as well and we stopped for a swim and a picnic in the middle of the trail. The environment that we ride through is always the highlight - no matter the weather. "

  • "The track was very well built and maintained in a challenging landscape. A beautiful part of the country I wouldn’t have seen if not for the bike and local shuttle service. "
