Planning a visit to Emerald Lakeside? Make your bike hire experience seamless by prebooking here!
Important Information:
- Bike Options: Choose from e-bikes, standard bikes, and kids' bikes. Rentals are available for up to 2 hours (perfect for a stopover at LAKESIDE Station), 4 hours, or all day.
- Rental Start Time: Your rental period begins at the start time you select. If you're travelling on Puffing Billy from Belgrave, the train typically arrives at Lakeside Station about one hour after departure.
- Helmets Included: Every bike rental comes with a helmet at no extra charge.
- Walk-ins vs. Pre-bookings: While walk-ins are welcome, pre-booking is strongly recommended—especially on wet weather days—since staff may only be onsite for scheduled bookings.
- Bike Preferences: The bike you receive may differ from the image shown during booking. If you prefer a specific style (e.g., step-through bikes), mention it in the special requirements section, and we'll do our best to accommodate your request.
- Discounted Rates for Puffing Billy Travelers: Exclusive e-bike hire discounts are available for Puffing Billy passengers. You may be asked to present your ticket upon collection. Be sure to select the "Stopover" product when booking if you're a Puffing Billy passenger.
- Additional Equipment: Please note that trailers, baby seats, locks, and gel seat covers are not available at this location.
