"The most fun you can have on two wheels with a mouthful of mud. Love this place I wish we had trails this good in Aus."
- Gary Walker, Brisbane, Australia
OUR RETAIL SHOPS AND CAFE
​
Core to our operations are our two retail shops that provide bike rental options, bike servicing and a range of retail product such as ride gear, bike tubes, pumps, helmets, gloves, tools and lubrication as well as custom Mountain Bike Rotorua clothing. If you have come for the weekend and forgotten one of your essentials then come and see us, we are sure we can help you.
​​
We also have the unique Wheelhouse Coffee Shop at Te Puia in the Southern Carpark (next to the big roundabout). Try our world famous Banana Coffee Smoothies or get your coffee fix before heading out riding or walking on the trails of the Titokorangi and Whakarewarewa Forests. Wheelhouse Coffee Shop uses Mourea Coffee beans. We love the Rottweiler roast - a mixed origin dark roast for the avid coffee drinker, this one has bite!
WAIPA BIKE SHOP​
Our main site and the entrance to the world famous Whakarewarewa Forest, Waipa is a short 5 minute from the centre Rotorua. Here we have over 100 bikes to hire including a huge fleet of e-bikes and a heap of kids bike options.
We also have a full service workshop and all the retail gear you need to get our riding including gear from Fox clothing, Race Face, Giro, Bell and more!
