Before you go, buy a hut ticket online for each night's stay. You can print or display the digital ticket on your device, or write down the ticket and confirmation numbers to take with you. You can also buy a Backcountry Hut Pass that allows you to stay at non-bookable DOC huts for a 12 month period.

Backcountry hut ticket terms and conditions

This hut operates on a first come, first served basis and cannot be booked. Backcountry hut tickets are required to pay for your stay but do not guarantee a bunk - consider carrying a sleeping mat in the event that no bunks are available.

Backcountry hut tickets can be purchased from a DOC visitor centre.
