When I was a boy growing up in Iowa there was a small local sporting goods store whose posted slogan was, “In Business for Fun”. That is the feeling I got from Te Waipounamu Motorcycle Tours Ltd: completely professional, but in business for the fun of motorcycling. John Rains is the proprietor of Te Waipounamu Motorcycle Tours. The bikes were well sorted out. The price negotiated for our extended rental was fair to both of us. In addition, both of us really appreciated John’s willingness to mount a Ram ball on my bike for a GPS and the throttle lock we brought with us, on my friend’s bike. Te Waipounamu Motorcycle Tours’ courtesy was further extended to us when they agreed to store our flight luggage and clothing during our 25 day tour of discovery, which did in no small part, make it all possible. John took the time at the end of our trip to sit down and talk with my friend and me at the end of tour supper, which was a welcome surprise and very much appreciated. Although John wasn’t seated near my passenger, she commented to us that John had been very kind and gracious to her. She appreciated the personal attention and courtesy. The personal touch impressed all of us. Top flight service can be a rare commodity in today’s fast paced world, whether here in the States or in New Zealand, but we found it at Te Waipounamu Motorcycle Tours Ltd. Congratulations on a shop well run and best wishes to you and your men down the road. Sincerely, Craig Ament

Had some work undertaken on my Honda CB650 before Christmas, fantastic job and everything works great now. I highly recommend this company.
Highly recommend. Great bikes, very affordable and John and the team were great to deal with. A great way for locals to see the country or rent a bike if your own isn't suitable for touring. Looking forward to our next trip. Cheers
Hired a bike for 3 weeks to tour South Island. Easy going and friendly bunch of guys run this place, and offered good advice on fuel, distances and places to go. Their knowledge of NZ was exceptional. Easy and pragmatic check in and check out. The bike was in great condition and performed faultlessly for 3 weeks and 1800km. Highly recommended!!
John hooked my father up with an awesome triumph 800 tiger for the day. top bike at a very reasonable price. john was friendly, helpful and accommodating. will be back. 100% recommend TeWaipounamu Moto Tours for your next moto rental. thanks again John
I highly recommend the folks at Te Waipounamu!!! Their primary concern was making sure we had a great time! Riding the South Island of New Zealand was a "Bucket List" trip for me and my wife. I do not think it is possible to overstate the beauty of New Zealand. There is no better way to see the country then on the back of a motorcycle. Te Waipounamu could not have been easier to work with or more straight forward. We rented a BMW R1200RT and it was beautiful. The perfect bike for riding two up. The trip was great. Our thanks to John & Perry for all their experience, route advice and making sure our trip was a blast!!!
It was a real pleasure to meet and 'work' with the Te Waipounamu team! Both Gordon in Auckland, where we have received the bikes (2 Suzuki's 650), and Perry in Christchurch, where we gave them back were friendly, helpful and really nice guys! Paul (from France) and I, Ellik (from Israel), had a 22 days, 4,540 km WONDERFUL experience and adventure. The warm and friendly contacts with the team, including a small technical issue that had to be resolved during the trip, were always well addressed. We have received good and reliable bikes, excellent introduction and briefing, good (full! if you need...) equipment for the road and with a feeling that we could trust the Te Waipounamu team, even when we were 'far from base'. Upon return to Christchurch we were treated in a fair and honest way, which left us with a good memories and NZ friendship. We most definitely can say that this team and these bikes contributed a lot to our NZ adventure! We highly recommend having YOUR NZ ADVENTURE/EXPERIENCE with these good mates at Te Waipounamu!
Perfect marks across the board. Great communication. Bike ran like a top. Gave great advice before setting out. Can't say enough about these guys. Top outfit!
