My husband and I took a cruise from Sydney around New Zealand. Our last stop on the trip was Dunedin. After a day in the city touring the Cadbury factory and the Speight brewery, we were picked up at the ship by Oliver and driven the short 5 minutes to their business location on the hill. Oliver and Cheryl were... More

I had never been horse riding before so booked in for a lesson with Hare Hill Horse Treks following the Tripadvisor reviews and in order to do something different. Port Chambers in a short bus ride from Dunedin (bus stop across the road from the Cadbury chocolate factory) and you are collected and brought to the farm from there. My... More

My husband and I spent a wonderful half day riding with Cheryl this past week. Oliver, the owner, picked us up promptly at our cruise ship, took us back to his stables and put us the competent hands of Cheryl, our guide. From there, we drove to a beautiful, very quiet and scenic beach where we rode for a few... More

Me and my partner booked to go on the beach ride and had a wonderful time. We both had different levels of experience but were able to go out together and I went for a canter towards the end. The scenery was stunning and the horses were extremely gentle. All riding gear was provided as we are travelling. The owner... More

I am on exchange for the year in Dunedin, and was missing horse riding a lot (I own a horse back home in France). I decided to go on a 3 hour beach ride with Hare Hill Horse Treks, near Port Chalmers. What a great decision! The owners are really nice and they have great horses for all riding abilities.... More

I found this trek very relaxing - not only was it well away from the noisy hubub of town, but the pace of the trek itself was sedate and not rushed. Oliver was a very friendly and relaxed tour guide, and it was a pleasure to see his farm and 'backyard' - the beautiful Otago hills, not to mention the... More

My family of 6 really enjoyed this wonderful experience. Ollie was professional from the start - pleasant and very helpful with the booking. We were collected from and returned to port. Ollie's and Cheryl's care for their horses (that were so well-behaved) was obvious, they worked with the kids really well, conversation was great and the whole adventure a most... More

Me and my partner went on a sceinic horse trek (~$75pp) and found it such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Cheryl and Ollie were lovely hosts, genuine, lovely and really friendly. We got lost trying to find the place, but this was more our faults than the location. Horses (Anna and Shannon) were great with nervous riders such as ourselves.... More

My wife and I travelled to NZ in March 2010, and after much research on the web and Trip Advisor, we decided to spend a day riding on the beach with Oliver, the owner of Hare Hill Horse Treks. We're so glad we did! Hare Hill is located just few minutes outside Dunedin on lovely Port Chalmers. After arriving we... More
