We had a last minute booking on the Lake Dunstan trail and from the off the whole experience was amazing! Really great communication from Rod, he's incredibly knowledgeable and knows the trail inside and out. He has a fantastic business, the bikes are really good, really reliable and bespoke built. When visiting Cromwell I'd thoroughly recommend a visit! The trail itself is well maintained with plenty of signage, toilets and some lovely places to stop! The Carrick winery at the 8km mark is a perfect stop off. I'd recommend this to anyone visiting the region as the historic sections of Cromwell and Clyde are both really pretty. As said before Rod is brilliant, he's a very friendly, approachable guy and in my opinion no one is better to hire from!

Well worth a visit when in Cromwell and the central Otago region

Great bikes for a great day out!
We hired 2 non-electric bikes for the day and couldn’t recommend CHP bike rentals more highly. The bikes were in great condition, padded seats, panniers to hold our gear, emergency and first aid kit. Rod has thought of everything! The Lake Dunstan cycle way is a great way to ride amongst the mountains for an unforgettable experience, made all the better and easier with CHP bikes. CHP bikes is located in the heritage precinct in Cromwell, a beautiful 1 hour drive from Queenstown through yet more beautiful mountains. Thanks Rod.

really great
Really great! bikes were very good, pick up from Clyde as well. Leaving from Cromwell was very efficient (other bike rentals are from Clyde and start with a shuttle, which means that these bikers start later on the day (so that it is very quiet when biking, because with CHP you leave more early/direct). We rated 5 stars!!

Cromwell to Clyde AND back
We rode our own bikes so Rod and his trusty bus was a welcome sight at the end of the ride. Rod is very friendly and helpful. His efficient shuttle made our adventure seamless. Highly recommend

CHP Rentals and the Dunstan Trail from Cromwell - Highly recommended
Tom and I hired bikes from Rod at CHP bike rentals Cromwell to cycle the Dunstan Trail from Cromwell to Clyde. Rod was very personable and outstanding with his communication of the hiring process and also detailed description of the track. The bikes were superb, in great order and being purpose built were perfect for the track. Rod's training of how to use the bikes was very clear. The track itself was magnificent and we would highly recommend Rod and CHP Rentals to anyone considering cycling the Dunstan or any other trail from Cromwell. Carol

CHP Trail rental bikes
Rod was phenomenal. Professional, friendly, nothing was an issue. The bikes were top notch with drop gel Seats and panniers. We had the most fantastic time. Thank you Rod we had. A fab time.

A spectacular day out
We (5 of us ) were delighted that we chose Rod and CHP for our Lake Dunstan Trail experience. 3 of us used Rod’s electric bikes - which were by far the best we’ve ever ridden - and we were lucky to ride on a spectacular autumnal day with hardly anyone else on the trail. Rod was very responsive in his email communication beforehand and made sure we knew exactly what to expect from the trail. We rode from Cromwell to Clyde with the sun and wind at our backs and stopped for delicious pizza and coffee at Carrick Vineyard. We were a bit late getting to Clyde (too many photo stops) but Rod was there waiting for us, and encouraged us to take our time and have a cup of tea before taking us back. We all had such a fun day riding in superb scenery on such an extraordinary bike trail, and would like to thank Rod for looking after us so well! He definitely goes the extra mile for his customers.
