“Fabulous experience on The Old Ghost Road”
5 of 5 stars
This track is quite unique. A mix of alpine ridges and beech forest with riverside features plus very interesting history as well. We did it in the 2 ½ days recommended to us which was about right in terms of being able to stop to read the informative boards and to enjoy the views. They are spectacular. We had fabulous weather and clear skies so perfect for the trip. The trail is constantly being upgraded – we met some guys with a stone crusher on the top on day 1 breaking the granite into small pieces - & there is a wide range of surfaces. We hired duel suspension bikes from Habitat Sports, Westport, which we highly recommend. The bikes are superbly maintained which minimised anxiety of breakdown. The owners, Denna & Adrian, are passionate about safety and enjoyment of the experience. They are very knowledgeable regarding their extraordinary outdoor environment and the range of tracks on offer. We hired our food and extra gear from them also which reduced the amount of luggage to haul to Westport. Huge admiration for the visionary & dedicated people working on The Old Ghost Road – what an asset to New Zealand!

We rode the Old Ghost Road a couple of weeks ago, and got a lift up with Habitat. They were really helpful and have top notch hire gear - to the extent that I wished I hadn't carted my bike from Australia so I could have hired one of theirs! The trail is an unbelievable experience, and it was great to get shuttled from end to end!

"According to FB I have been here 3 times....pretty certain I have popped in a few more times than that to Habitat Sports...! You can't beat purchasing from a business where the owners love what they sell and are passionate about what they do. Denna and Adrian are exactly those owners!
You always get fantastic service from these guys in all aspects of their business; they are both very professional in their work. The extra mile is always stretched a little further when they ensure that your needs are met in every way.
You're not just a customer in their store, you are a fellow sport loving friend (whatever your sport may be), and they will be there for your needs time and time again :) thanks guys, you rock! And I may be leaving town (eventually) but will always come back to Habitat!"

"My boyfriend and I wandered into Habitat Sports while mountain biking around New Zealand and met Denna! She helped us out immensely and gave us an awesome lesson on how to ride switch backs! The lesson helped me out so much and I continue to use the skills I learned from her every time I go riding. Since that impromptu lesson, I've enjoyed mountain biking so much more!
Also gave us some awesome trails to check out in the south island which were awesome! Stopped at Rabbit Ridge and did some fun riding there =D
Thank you so much Denna and Habitat Sports!!!"

25th August Thanks guys, for all your help in my latest purchase, especially the freight to Australia, I'd rather buy Quality from Habitat Sports than any other sporting shop, as Denna and Adrian are Honest and mean what they say. very reliable.
