Network Car Rentals + Cycling Around Queenstown

Queenstown sits in an epic location on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and has stunning views of The Remarkables Mountain Range. Two of New Zealand's premium ski fields (The Remarkables and Coronet Peak) are less than 20 minutes’ drive from downtown, and historic Arrowtown is only an easy 25km ride or drive away. However, as the spring weather unfolds, visitors to Queenstown start to think about activities other than skiing, and for cyclists Queenstown is a mecca. A mountain bike track has recently opened up at the Gondola and the new Queenstown Trail has recently unveiled 110+kms of stunning new vistas, hidden ruins, spectacular architecture featuring world-class food and wine. The friendly folk at Network Car Rentals, based in Frankton, now provide bike racks with their hire cars for the many bike enthusiasts flooding into the region as summer approaches.

For the first time ever, people can cycle or walk across unspoilt private land, over mighty suspension bridges crossing three iconic rivers and two lakes, all set in dramatic Lord of the Rings landscapes. The Queenstown Trails are set in the heart of the Wakatipu Basin one of the most beautiful areas of New Zealand renowned for its spectacular scenery. With over 100kms of off-road mountain biking visitors can explore lake vistas, river gorges, historic Arrowtown, the wine area of Gibbston Valley and countless mountain ranges. The 100 kilometre Queenstown Trail combines a series of trails within the Wakatipu Basin incorporating the wine area of Gibbston valley, the historic gold-mining town of Arrowtown, Lake Hayes, Frankton and Queenstown.

Network Car Rentals also assist visitors to the area by providing a ‘Queenstown Activities’ tab on their website, so that people can select the activities they would like to pursue during their stay in Queenstown, and their friendly and knowledgeable staff will make every endeavour to help people book their activities upon their arrival, or even book before their departure – allowing them more time to see the sights.

Nothing is ever too much trouble for the friendly Network Car Rentals team, and their service is second to none. This is due to the fact that they are a locally, family owned and operated rental car company with many years’ experience in Queenstown and they just love to welcome visitors to their particularly beautiful part of New Zealand.
