Glentanner is now a 'Cycle Hub'


Cycling in and around New Zealand is growing in popularity, and already parts of the Alps to Ocean Cycleway are open! The Alps to Ocean Cycleway runs from Aoraki Mt Cook Village to Oamaru.

Glentanner is a great stop for cyclists with budget accommodation, fantastic facilities, great views and activities, and refreshments! Glentanner is now even more cyclist friendly - we are a Holiday Park Association of New Zealand Cycle Hub!


To be a Cycle Hub we must (and we do!) provide the following:

1. Secure covered cycle storage
2. Cycle cleaning area
3. Information and maps on local cycling options
4. Access to a cycle technician (may be located in the closest town - Twizel).

We look forward to welcoming many more cyclists to Glentanner Park, be safe on the roads!

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Grown-Ups




























Yesterday (Tuesday 20th September) Nigel Latta had a great day at Glentanner, enjoying a delicious country style Glentanner lunch up in the snow!

The Helicopter Line Pilot Troy Feck flew him and his crew up onto the Richardson Glacier for filming of his new up and coming TV programme "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Grown-Ups"

Nigel originally from Oamaru, is a New Zealand psychologist, famous as the host of the TV show Beyond The Darklands, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Teenagers and The Politically Incorrect Parenting Show.

Nigel was blown away with the beauty of Glentanner and the Aoraki Mt Cook region. He wants to bring his family down to experience it sometime. We are looking forward to that!

He really wanted to be able to build a snow cave while he was up there but time did not allow. Of course he has a great sense of humour so The Helicopter Line Staff had a good joke about him and the crew snuggling up in the cave to keep warm!
