Excellent tracks, equipment and support in terms of knowledge of bike setup and a mechanical shop to back you up.
Jonny is very friendly likeable chap who loves good conversation.
Bikes were up to date and well kept , we hired the ebikes which are awesome! Toilets and cafe there too which were a welcome site after a few hours pounding the (beginner) tracks 😜
Would recommend.

Kia Ora guys, thanks for the review, really appreciate it. Stoked to hear that you had a blast on the trails and decided to go for the E-bikes- they certainly are the real deal! Thanks for describing the facilities so well for our readers out there too. You'll no doubt be lining up for another ride sometimes soon so will see you then. Cheers, Jonny

We were visiting Paihia for the long weekend and didn't have any bikes with us. We came to this bike park to have a look at the scenery and take photos when my youngest son saw the awesome bike track out the front and wanted to have a turn. We went to the bike hireage area was first impressed with the safety and friendliness of the staff. They got my details first as the parent meanwhile, helped fit my son with a helmet and the bike that was right for his size. We were told more information about the bike park and given a map with suggestions of age appropriate tracks for him. We went to visit those and afterwards he was more confident to try the bike track out front with the hills and turns and tunnel. He really enjoyed his time at the bike park. The coffee and food was great too and we spent most of our morning here even though we hadn't planned on it, very welcoming and family friendly.

Kia Ora Lisa. Thanks so much for taking the time to write such an awesome review of our facilities and operation- it really means a lot! The Pump track right onsite at the carpark is super good fun, as well as the almost 50km of World Class Singletrack trails in the forest too- so much on offer. Catch you soon. Cheers, Jonny

Did my homework and researched the MTB park. Booking an E-bike was easy as. Arrived at the park and my bike was ready and waiting for me. After signing in, I was sent on a test ride to see if the bike was all OK, then a comprehensive brief on which trails to take. First time on an E-bike on MTB trails so it was an experience to remember. The bike certainly takes the climbing away and I was able to do multiple runs from top to bottom, stop for lunch and hit the trails again. The trails are well built, maintained and flowing in nature. Thanks to the friendly staff, Jonno and Georgie for their help. Very professional and friendly team. Good coffee e too. A great day out, highly recommended.

I have to say it was an enjoyable experience dropping into the Paihia bike park and dealing with the two friendly assistants there. Though the bike hire place was pumping, the gentleman who dealt with me, took time to greet me, gave me an estimate as to when he would be able to serve me and invited me to grab a coffee from the cafe onsite, and then come and find me. He made sure my nephew was well looked after, found the appropriate bike and then guided us with a map around the bike park. We will definitely be back! It doesn't take much effort to be respectful and service-oriented. This guys were brilliant at it!

Kia Ora Gareth, thanks for the comprehensive review mate, it means a lot to have such positive feedback- cheers. Seems like your Nephew and his mates were in his element exploring the trails, and the grins on the faces when they came back were hard to beat! See you all again soon Cheers, Jonny

Bikes were high quality and excellently maintained. I think the biggest highlight was meeting Johnny and seeing how passionate he is about sharing the stoke with other riders and making sure they have the best time. What a blast!

Kia Ora Luke. Thanks for the feedback mate, glad you had a ball out there. You're right, I do like sharing the stoke and getting riders out there checking out the tracks, we love making peoples day and putting a smile on the dial. I get a little bit jealous each time a rental bike goes out and wish I was out there riding too. I guess I can have my turn after work ;) . See you next time. Cheers, Jonny

We had a fantastic day at Waitangi MTB Park. We rented full suss e-bikes which were in great condition and well maintained. The trails are fantastic and range from nice and easy to hard and gnarly. I took a tumble and not wearing knee pads gave myself a fairly deep gash to my knee. When I got back to the base in typical Kiwi no drama fashion I was looked after by Georgie. This is a great facility and deserves its five star reputation. When you visit ask for Johnny or Georgie and they’ll get you set up.

Kia Ora Connor, thanks for the review mate, appreciate you taking the time to leave some feedback. There sure are a range of trails for all abilities, beginners to advanced. Well done on getting out there riding, especially being on the E-bikes, just makes it amazingly more fun than it already is. Hope that knee heals up ok and enjoy the rest of the holiday. Thanks for checking it all out! Cheers, Jonny

Been here a couple of times now both with my own bike and hiring Paihia MTB rentals e bikes. There Merida e bikes are great and can turn an average ride into seriously good ride.
There is something here for everyone whether it be a steady family ride with the kids or some seriously challenging advanced tracks. If your legs and bike are up for it make sure you get across to zone 5 and check out tracks there. It has a nice long easy track as well as 4x challenging advanced downhill tracks and an intermediate downhill all exiting on a nice steady return track to the top. Thanks guys an awesome ride and i will be back.

Kia Ora Glen, thanks for taking the time to leave a super positive review, really appreciate it. Glad you have always had a great time out there each trip! Those E-bike certainly are the pick of the bunch, allowing you to go further, faster and get more trail exploring done. We love then and glad you've had a ball on them too! See you next time. Cheers, Jonny

Weather cut up rough so fishing trip got canned - what to do on a wet Sunday in Paihia? Jonny at Paihia MTB Rentals sorted us out with awesome Scott bikes and we hit the Waitangi MTB Park and had a blast. An awesome range of trails (we only managed a fraction of them in 3 hours) that are really well maintained. Not sure our hotel will be that excited about the mud we dragged in but we can definitely recommend the Paihia bike hire and the Waitangi MTB Park!!

What a fantastic park. Great trails throughout the forest, with a mix of flat simple trails, flowy gravity trails and a bit of gnar for those who like it. Great well-maintained hire bikes if you need them, and if you don’t want to ride uphill then shuttle is spacious, and the roads are smooth which makes for nice quick shuttle runs.
