A year-round biking resort catering for beginner and intermediate riders will open later this month on 400 hectares of land adjacent to Queenstown’s Gibbston Valley Winery.
The Rabbit Ridge Bike Resort, which is located on Gibbston Valley Station rabbit-prone land, will ultimately feature 30km of tracks suitable for all levels of riders.
Gibbston Valley Winery and local bike tour operator Around the Basin have combined to create the dedicated bike resort.
Around The Basin director John Knight said: "This terrain really is stunning. It’s world-class and a mountain biker’s paradise, with accessible trails for everyone, not just the adrenalin junkies."
Gibbston Valley Station has been granted consent to build a resort which will include accommodation, a commercial hub and various recreational facilities.
It is anticipated that construction for the hotel will begin in 2014.
