THE SIGNATURE RETREAT

The ultimate Ride Retreat experience — four days of exceptional riding, personalised coaching, premium dining, recovery and the best of Rotorua. The Signature Retreat is our flagship Ride Retreat. Created for riders who want to experience Rotorua at its very best, this four-day retreat brings together world-class mountain biking, personalised coaching, beautiful accommodation, exceptional food, dedicated recovery and genuine local experiences.

You'll explore Rotorua's extraordinary trail network alongside professional downhill rider and Rotorua local Brook Macdonald, with the itinerary shaped around the group, the conditions and your riding goals.

THE RIDE

Start with Rotorua's famous trails and take it from there. Your riding can range from flowing forest trails to more technical terrain, with coaching and guidance built naturally into the experience.

Brook brings a unique perspective to the retreat — not only as a Rotorua local who knows the trails, but as a professional rider who has competed at the highest level of mountain biking. The result is riding that is challenging, fun and genuinely tailored to the people in the group.

THE STAY

After a day on the bike, retreat somewhere designed for slowing down. Your accommodation is carefully selected to provide comfort, privacy and the space to properly relax between rides. This is your base for the retreat — somewhere to wake up feeling ready to ride and return to at the end of the day.

THE TABLE

Enjoy carefully selected local dining throughout the retreat, from relaxed breakfasts and premium lunches to memorable dinners and private chef experiences. We want you to experience Rotorua through its food as well as its trails.

THE RECOVERY

A great riding trip shouldn't leave you completely wrecked. Recovery is built into the Signature experience, giving you time and space to reset between rides. Expect dedicated wellness and recovery experiences alongside a considered pace that lets you enjoy the riding without rushing from one activity to the next.

A TASTE OF THE SIGNATURE ITINERARY

Your exact itinerary will be tailored around the group, weather, trail conditions and riding ability, but a Signature Retreat can include: a welcome brunch, bike setup, dinner at a local favourite, personalised coaching, recovery sessions, cultural experiences, guided rides and more.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Signature Retreat is for riders who want more than a guided riding holiday. It's for people who want the riding to be exceptional — but who also care about where they stay, what they eat, how they recover and what they experience when they're off the bike.

Our retreats are designed to create a great experience for every group size. Accommodation arrangements may vary depending on the number of guests booked.
