ROUTEBURN TRACK
ACCOMMODATION
IN GLENORCHY
ONE MORE NIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS
Doing the Routeburn Track this season? Don’t rush a good thing, stay with us! We’re a popular licensed wood-fired restaurant and mountaineering hut style accommodation — designed and built by trampers with little touches here and there to create the perfect mountaineering base camp.
THE PERFECT START OR FINISH
Here in Glenorchy, we are only a 30 minute drive from the Routeburn Shelter — the start or finish point for the Routeburn depending on the direction you are walking.
START WITH US
Spend a night in the mountains and hit the ground running. We’ll pick you up from Queenstown Dine at our wood-fired restaurant ahead of a night in a cosy cabin and rise to a nutritious protein-rich breakfast before your transfer to the Routeburn shelter to begin your mission.
END WITH US
No need to rush back to civilisation, we’ll pick you up from the Routeburn Shelter and take you back to ours for a hot shower and sauna ahead of a night of fun in our restaurant & bar, retire to one of our cosy mountaineer’s huts and wake up to breakfast before your transfer back to Queenstown.
THE ULTIMATE HIKING BASE
As hikers ourselves, we’ve put a lot of thought into what makes for the perfect tramping base — from our unique approach to our accommodation and restaurant to handy additions like our drying room, sauna, laundry, trail food & supplies, 4×4 track transfers and so much more.
OUR CABINS
Our award-winning cabins are inspired by the historic mountaineer’s huts that typify the New Zealand Southern Alps, complete with wood-burners and a variety of bunk configurations and a few added comforts that make all the difference.
WOOD-FIRED RESTAURANT
We think of our restaurant a little differently, it’s much more like dining at our place. We cook everything over wood-fire and serve it on a long table in the cast iron pots it was prepared in — so you can share a table, food and stories with interesting mountain loving people like yourself.
