Collectable tramping huts

Made with the spirit and integrity of the backcountry; from salvaged materials to handcrafted construction.

Kiwi Flat Hut

Waitaha River, West Coast

Built in the 1960’s and was given this colourful exterior by local Bruce in the late 70s. He went against orders to paint it beige and mixed up this shade of teal using leftover paint from Ivory Lake Hut, which was blue at the time. Read more.

Cecil Kings Hut

Kahurangi National Park, Nelson Tasman


Historic 4-bunk, beech pole framed, depression era gold mining hut. Cecil King, a well known local, claimed that he built it alone from a single Red Beech in 1935.

Blue Range Hut

Tararua Forest Park, Wairarapa


Charming four-bunk hut built in 1958 by the Masterton Tramping Club. Adorned with ex hospital signage including ‘no parking’ and ‘antenatal clinic’ signs.


Blue hut with lean-to and flue chimney

Kotepato Hut 

Waioeka Conservation Area, Bay of Plenty


Built in the summer of 1968, by deer culler Tony Shaw. Apparently he upgraded the standard NZFS 6-bunk design by adding hinges on the centre bunks so the bottom bunks could be used as benches. Actively maintained by local tramping club, Nga Tapuwae o Taneatua (founders pictured)


Moss green SF70 hut 

Thomas River Hut 

Weheka to Haast River Conservation Area, West Coast


Built in 1962 as a standard SF70 6-bunk design with an open fire. Actively maintained by Permolat volunteers who recently relocated it away from an undercut bank and reattached the original chimney.

Dominie Biv

Kaweka Forest Park, Hawke’s Bay


Standardized animal observation hut that served as a hide for deer researcher Mavis Davidson in Blowhard Bush. In 1968 it was relocated to the present site where it is the highest hut in Kaweka Forest Park at 1,480m.

Top Butler Hut

Butler River, West Coast Stewardship Land

A standard 6-bunk built towards the end of the NZFS hut building era in 1974 by Joe Hansen & co. The hut still gets used though the open fire was replaced with a wood burner and DOC warns of ongoing flood risk of the hut site.


SF70 design with green walls, red roof and silver chimney

Price Flat Historic Hut

Whitcombe Valley, West Coast

Built in 1949 and one of the first West Coast huts to have supplies airdropped in, though the timber was cut from the surrounding bush. It is a standing relic of DIA slab hut design.

Backcountry Art Journal

This year we have reimagined one of Aotearoa’s most iconic backcountry traditions, signing the DOC hut logbook, in a new creative journal for Aotearoa trampers.


Inside you’ll find sketching games and prompts, contributions sent in from real trampers and plenty of pages to fill with your own nature inspired creativity. It explores the connection between time spent outdoors, creativity and mental wellbeing with a sense of humour and fun.

See what’s inside. 140mm x 148mm, 120 pages
