The staff were so friendly, and the tour was one of our favourite parts of our trip, it was a beautiful day. Recommend wearing warm clothes though as it does get cold biking in the wind! The meal we got after was delicious too, beautiful wine 🍷
It was the first time for my girlfriend and me on a horse and it was one of the best experiences we've had so far in New Zealand. It was everything we had hoped for, and more... Our head instructor, Janice, and other instructor, Keira, were the best! They've helped us with good instructions and after they saw we were comfortable enough with our horses, they even let us throttle a bit (though steady and slowly) which was really awesome! The freedom we were given with the horse made us feel very happy and last but not least: they made plenty of pictures which we all got to share at the end. All in all, 5 out 5, it couldn't have been any better for our first time with prefect weather and great view. Thank you very much, Janice, Keira and of course our horses: Roach and Buster!!
Great ride for all levels of experience. The staff were lovely and the horses were great!
非常棒的一次体验,教怎么骑马并且马匹们都很温顺,Sandy走的很快,不过你会很喜欢的,她很温顺,而且走的时候会找我蹭蹭的
The staff from Moonlight Stables were friendly & helpful & of course very patient with our non existant riding skills. The trek taken was worth the experience for the views & countryside alone. I would put this down as a must do if you are visiting the Queenstown area.
Great experience. Horses are lovely : )
I was a little afraid of getting back on a horse (it’s been 10 years), but the staff are so sweet here! I was trotting by the end of the day! Such a beautiful farm. I truly loved it :)
Moonlight stables was absolutely amazing, the instructors were kind and informative when telling me the basics of how to ride a horse and expertly paired me up with Shandy. Shandy was an amazing horse and was very patient with my inexperience. I definitely will come back the next time I am in queenstown. Thank you moonlight stables for the best horse riding experience I could have hoped for.
Thoroughly enjoyed my time at Moonlight Stables - from pick up at my hotel to the ride it was all fantastic - great staff, amazing riding scenery, horses are well looked after & yard area was clean & well maintained - as an animal lover I expect the horses to be priority as they are having to take us riders & at this stable the horses we had where calm & relaxed but aware of us all - the girls that helped us with gear, our horses & the ride knew each horses personality & where caring to them & us. Was a great experience with amazing country, cared for horses & great staff. Thanks for taking me out.
One of the best experiences I have ever had on horseback! Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive guides, clean, well-trained, well-behaved, and happy horses, coaching for the newbies, and lots of opportunities to pick up the pace for the experienced, and the most amazing scenery on the planet....what more could you ask for??! Thank you Moonlight Stables, Rosie, Jess, and Storm!
The staff, the horses, the view. Couldn't fault it. They were happy to pick us up and drop us off where we needed them to, which made our lives so much easier! They well suited horses to riders ability and let those who could pick up their pace do so, while still providing the perfect day for the novice rider! If I could give 6 stars, I would. Thank you so much for being such an amazing part of my holiday and also being part of now one of my fondest memories. X
A must do in Queenstown Wonderful to get out into the country and only 10 minutes from town Very friendly and helpful guides Horses were great too Would highly recommend
Has amazing views! The staff/driver's are very helpful, I would definitely recommend if you like to bike and would like to see some amazing views on the way!
Was so awesome to have an e bike so I could get the most out of my day. Queenstown and area has lots of great bike trails, but the hills would really get me, so having the extra kick of the E bike helped me get up them.
Wow, this was my first heli ride and it was so amazing and great experience. All Black helicopter with a skilled pilot, thank you Michael for our bonus landing ? you are awesome man and thanks for taking us photos.
Great little course, despite the lack of sand traps and water hazards, the course was still a bit challenging. Some of the holes made me think twice about using a driver versus an iron as some holes had narrow fairways and control was more important than distance. Course was well maintained and not too busy, at least when I had my tee time booked.
Absolutely amazing experience with Moonlight Stables - the scenery is stunning. There were people with varying degrees of experience on the trek and the girls accommodated this, which made it a really enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend this horse-trekking experience to others!
Arrowton Golf Course....WOW! I wasn't expecting to play such a picturesque golf course. This really took me by surprise, such a wonderful layout. Designed around the beautiful surrounds of the rolling mountains. The Pro Shop staff were friendly & also helpful, accommodating my need to walk 9 holes & then use a cart for the other 9. You can also enjoy a beverage on the outside deck overlooking the scenery. I plan to return one day & hopefully play a little better now I know the layout. Cheers to a very enjoyable 18 holes of golf. Regards Andrew Chillingworth
It was an unforgettable time. It was the best part of my trip. It was fantastic to ride a horse and see priceless scenery. Most of all, the staff were the kindest people I've ever seen. If you come to Queenstown, I really x10 would recommend it. Because of this,I wanna even come Queenstown again. it was an unforgettable experience in my life. You can't experience anything like this except here.
This is the first time for me and my wife playing golf. They have a excellent view and the best course. But I should remind everyone MUST rent a electrical car otherwise the up and down hill would be a torture.
Fantastic and tricky course. Very scenic and peaceful under the mountains. Some absolute awesome holes. Club pro shop person could be a bit friendlier but apart from that well worth it.
Had a fantastic ride. Great that we could trot and canter our horses. Our guides made our ride fun and interesting. Will be going back next time we are in Queenstown.
I did a trek with my ten year old daughter and we had a fabulous experience - Jenny, our guide, was lovely - knowledgeable, enthusiastic and encouraging. We were both beginners but she made us feel very comfortable and taught us some basics so that we quickly felt confident on the horses. The scenery is stunning. Highly recommend this experience, I would definitely do it again!
My daughter and her friend went on this ride and they just loved it all. They said the staff were lovely and friendly and the horses were in excellent condition and very well cared for. The property itself is also stunningly beautiful and as local Airbnb hosts we will definitely be back and be recommending this wonderful stables to all our guests!
These guys are amazing! Lovely guides friendly and helpful, so much knowledge of the area. I was late due to Unforeseen circumstances and Lisa didn’t hesitate to put me in the next lot. Would highly recommend doing the bike the bridges tour! Such beautiful scenery - The winery was a beautiful relaxing end to the ride finished off with a cheese platter from the cheesery next door.
It was my first time to ride a horse. So I was a little bit scared but the owners made me relax and explained enough for safety. My horse; Mr.White, was very gentle and well trained even though he tried to eat some dry grass?? So it was easy to handle the horse. And the owners, mom and daughter, were very friendly and kind. They made my good memory in queenstown. Thank you so much. If I came back to queenstown, I would try it one more?? I strongly recommend it!
Wonderful guides, wonderful horses, wonderful landscape! I can absolutely recommend this trip!
Best way to get around the Queenstown trails by far. My parents are visiting so we thought would be an easier way for them to get out on the bike trails. Uphill was a breeze on these bikes! They lasted from Shotover country out to Gibbston valley and back which was impressive. The guys dropped the bikes off to us, and included was a little cool box with waters in on one bike and a pouch with snack bars, a trail map, and tools to fix any issues - what a great surprise! At the end of our day we just had to give them a call and they came and picked the bikes up. At such a good price, and with excellent service, I would highly recommend booking with these guys.
Perfect blue sky day to cycle the vineyards. Amazing lunch platter at Gibbston Vineyard with great kids menu too. Then onto Peregrine, Gibbston Tavern and Rockwell vineyard tasting. We called it a day there but without kids would probably have done the first 10km much faster and made it to nearly every one. Great hosts/drivers there and back. Would highly recommend
We are a family with children without any riding experience but we were taught how to ride by very nice coach. Then we were led by the coach and riding inside a farm. All in all, the experience was wonderful and i really recommend this stable any family with kids.
Was the best thing ever, would do it over and over again.
