FEATURED TRAVEL TIPS: NEW ZEALAND
Department of Conservation (DOC) Huts
New Zealand also has a fantastic network of backcountry huts. Spread across all of the country’s many protected areas, these range from rustic two-person bivvies to modern constructions with BBQs and a capacity of 80+. Some need to be booked in advance, many are first-come-first-served, and prices range from free to over $100 per night. The Department of Conservation has maps, descriptions and route information for most, if not all, of the huts.
