New Hut Fees
From December, many of the public huts on Conservation land will have a charge for staying overnight. These have been streamlined into a nationwide system of charges that reflect the costs associated with each hut’s facilities. Fully serviced huts (with fuel, cookers, lighting, mattresses, wardens etc) will be $12/night for adults. Intermediate huts $8/ night; basic huts $4/night. Quite a few small huts, shelters and bivouacs will be free. Camping beside Fully Serviced and Intermediate huts costs $4/night. School children will be half price. You'll be required to buy tickets in advance, from DOC offices or visitor centres, selected tramping clubs or retailers with extended hours. Details of classification of huts are also available from these outlets.
