Welcome to New Zealand! Home to the wide empty roads, winding alongside the blue-green sea or climbing through the mountain passes.

A must visit for all motorcyclists, whether you have specific destinations in mind – extreme sports in central Otago or relaxing in the hot pools of Hanmer Springs, or you prefer back-country touring through the local roads or gravel trails.

Between us, we have covered almost all of the roads in New Zealand and know the picturesque South Island and the winding North Island like the back of our hands. We do a nationwide tour in a week every year; a whistle-stop jaunt which leaves no time for checking email or phone messages from the day jobs – the best justification for jumping on a motorbike there is! Normal locals would do the trip in 2 – 3 weeks, people who haven’t seen the scenery before would need upwards of two months to be able to take in the sights along the way.

We’re trying to use this site as a record of where wé’ve been, the best hospitality, the best coffee, but no doubt we’ll have to kiss some frogs along the way so if we see some crappy service, bland food or weak coffee we’ll mention that too, so that if you are short on time, you can skip to the good bits when you are on your own trips.

With a form of tour guide in Corinne’s background, and supported by Andrew’s encyclopaedic memory of names of places visited, eaten at or just passed through, if you want a steer to put together your own trip, give us a shout – we are always keen to share ideas or put together a draft agenda to suit your dates, bikes and preferences.

This venture is all about meeting like minded people and giving you the same freedom to enjoy your holiday as we look for in our own trips.

See you soon

Corinne
