Main Road, Kokonga

Host Fred Newman is one of the trail's accommodation originals. Over the years his large, comfortable villa has provided rest and relaxation for hundreds of budget-conscious Otago Central Rail Trail cyclists and walkers. Backing on to the trail, the positioning couldn't be more convenient, and being in Kokonga (42km from Middlemarch), 2 Wheel Backpackers is ideally placed as your first or last night's trail accommodation. There's something else about Kokonga. True peace and quiet. The perfect antidote for urbanites escaping the constant hum of traffic and city life.

Along with a large, sheltered barbecue area complete with outdoor furniture, downstairs features spacious communal kitchen/dining (coffee, tea, milk and sugar provided), separate TV lounge, shared bathroom and toilet facilities and private queen bedroom. Upstairs is a spacious four single bed bunk room.
Staying at 2 Wheel Backpackers and you don't feel like cooking. No problem. A courtesy bus is available to take guests to and from dining at the Ranfurly Lion Hotel (15 minutes away). An added attraction of 2 Wheel Backpackers is the close proximity to the willow-lined Taieri River and bank-side walks.
