点评:Having done part of this trail when our kids were younger, we booked the Clyde to Middlemarch trip for my family of eight: that’s grandparents, husband and I and 4 young adult children. We did the deluxe version of the trip. So a range of fitness levels and support requirements. I booked about 6 months ahead and SBHB was really helpful answering my questions and fine tuning the itinerary so everyone’s needs were met. The itinerary was comprehensively documented and I was given a copy in a plastic bag to take with me on the trip. It had all the details re pick up times and I went back to it frequently to check stuff. The induction was clear and helpful and one of the staff had a follow up briefing with the grandparents to make sure they were comfy. The bikes were all great. One was on an e-bike - the rest were mountain bikes. As you’d expect with a multigenerational family of 8 there were a few times when things didn’t go quite to plan or we hadn’t read the instructions properly but the SBHB staff were polite, friendly and helpful. In times like these I find good humour and a bit of patience on both sides helps. It’s a busy time of year. We didn’t have problems with pick up times or luggage transfers. The accomodation was very good with plenty of common spaces for the family to hang out together. Pitchers had gorgeous food and atmosphere, fantastic pool at Kokonga lodge. Inverlair Lodge was the people’s choice for the rooms, the guest common areas and the breakfast. All places had an accessible room for the grandparents. We did the St Bathan’s tour which I recommend if you want to understand more about Central Otago's history. Vulcan Hotel and the stunning Blue Lake was a highlight. I see another reviewer mentioned the shuttle breakdown on the way from Middlemarch back to Queenstown. We were on that shuttle and as the reviewer said, we were put on another shuttle pretty quickly. Stuff happens and as we were waiting to be picked up on a beautiful day in stunning countryside I thought how lucky we were to have had our family adventure here. Thoroughly recommend.
翻译:当我们的孩子还小的时候,我们走过这条路线的一部分,所以我们为我八口之家预订了从克莱德到米德尔马契的旅行:祖父母、丈夫和我,以及 4 个年轻的成年子女。我们参加的是豪华版旅行。因此,每个人的健身水平和支持要求都不一样。我提前大约 6 个月预订,SBHB 非常乐于助人,回答了我的问题并调整了行程,满足了每个人的需求。行程记录详尽,他们给了我一份装在塑料袋里的复印件,让我在旅行时随身携带。它有所有关于接送时间的详细信息,我经常回去查看。入职介绍很清楚,很有帮助,其中一名工作人员与祖父母进行了后续简报,以确保他们感到舒适。自行车都很棒。一辆是电动自行车 - 其余的是山地车。正如您所预料的那样,对于一个 8 口之家来说,有几次事情没有按照计划进行,或者我们没有正确阅读说明,但 SBHB 的工作人员彬彬有礼、友好且乐于助人。在这种时候,我发现双方的幽默感和一点耐心都很有帮助。这是一年中的繁忙时间。我们在接送时间或行李转移方面没有遇到问题。住宿条件非常好,有很多公共空间供家人一起闲逛。Pitchers 的食物和氛围很棒,Kokonga 旅馆的游泳池也很棒。Inverlair Lodge 是人们最喜欢的房间、客人公共区域和早餐。所有地方都有适合祖父母使用的无障碍房间。我们参加了圣巴坦之旅,如果您想了解更多关于中奥塔哥的历史,我推荐这个。Vulcan 酒店和令人惊叹的蓝湖是亮点。我看到另一位评论者提到从米德尔马契返回皇后镇的途中班车发生故障。我们乘坐了那辆班车,正如评论者所说,我们很快就被安排上了另一辆班车。事情总是会发生,当我们在一个美丽的日子里在迷人的乡村等待被接走时,我想我们能在这里度过家庭冒险是多么幸运。强烈推荐。
