Stay, Ride & Explore: Your Lumsden Cycling Adventure Starts Here
Discover one of New Zealand’s remarkable cycle trails — and somewhere different to stay along the way.
There’s something special about discovering a landscape on two wheels.
You notice the small things. The changing colours of the countryside. The distant mountain ranges. The rivers, historic townships and unexpected places that are easy to miss when travelling by car.
In Northern Southland, cycling is more than a way to get from one destination to another. It’s a way to experience the region.
And Lumsden is a wonderful place to begin.
Discover the Around the Mountains Cycle Trail
The Around the Mountains Cycle Trail is one of New Zealand’s Great Rides, following approximately 186 kilometres of spectacular countryside between the Kingston and Walter Peak areas, through the wider Southern Lakes and Northern Southland region.
The journey takes riders through a landscape of rural settlements, open farmland, mountain scenery and historic communities.
Lumsden is one of the towns connected to the trail, making it a useful place for cyclists looking for somewhere to rest, regroup or explore.
Whether you’re cycling a short section or planning a multi-day adventure, Northern Southland offers plenty of reasons to slow down.
More Than Just a Bed for the Night
At IN8 DESiGN HUB in Lumsden, we’ve created accommodation that welcomes groups of friends, families and active travellers.
The property brings together separate character-filled sleeping areas, a central kitchen, dining and living space, comfortable communal facilities and outdoor areas where you can relax after a busy day.
It’s a place for swapping stories, planning your next ride and enjoying some well-earned downtime.
Groups of up to 15 overnight guests can be accommodated, making IN8 particularly interesting for clubs, cycling companions and organised groups travelling together.

Turn Your Ride Into a Southern New Zealand Holiday
One of the best things about cycling in the South is how easily an adventure can become something bigger.
Spend time in Lumsden, explore the rural landscape, discover the wider cycle trail, and consider building a longer itinerary through Queenstown, Te Anau and Fiordland.
The region rewards curious travellers.
And you don’t have to cover huge distances every day to enjoy it.
Sometimes a relaxing ride, a good meal and an evening sharing stories with friends is all that’s needed.
