The Timber Trail Shuttle and Bike Hire depot is located at 26 Ongarue–Waimiha Rd, just off State Highway 4, 25 km north of Taumarunui. Look for the signs a couple of hundred metres after the turnoff onto Ongarue-Waimiha Rd.
There is secure parking for your vehicle.
There are scheduled shuttle departures at 5.30pm to go to Timber Trail Lodge at Piropiro, and 8.30am to the start of the trail at Pureora.
Please allow plenty of time for your journey so you arrive at least ½ hour prior to your shuttle departure time. With many customers’ needs being catered for it is important that this service runs to schedule
At the end of your Timber trail adventure our depot is only 5 kms from the trail end at Bennett Rd. There are scheduled pickups at 1pm and 3pm. Alternatively you can cycle the final 5km from Bennet Rd, through Ongarue and onto the depot.
