Mountain Huts
For those seeking rustic comfort in the wilderness, Alpine Recreation’s privately owned Caroline Hut and Rex Simpson Hut provide a warm, well-equipped base for backcountry adventures. We also base many of our trips at the privately owned Cass Valley Huts on Glenmore Station, the new Erewhon Hut at Mt Potts and public huts on conservation land. Whether you’re ski touring, mountaineering, hiking, or simply looking for a remote alpine escape, our huts offer a unique experience in stunning alpine settings.
Why stay in a privately-owned hut?

✔ Bookable – The reassurance of a guaranteed bunk.
✔ Well stocked – Non-perishable food, firewood and sleeping bags are supplied.
✔ Exclusive access to untracked terrain – Avoid the crowds and explore pristine wilderness.
✔ A true alpine experience – Wake up to breathtaking views and fresh mountain air.
