Cape Brett Track

This was our first overnight track and first stay in a hut. They have huts all around NZ so can be a nice option instead of tenting. This track was 16ish km each way and called for 8hrs of hiking. And although it didn't take us 8hrs, it was a solid 5.5hr hike. Couple small peaks, with gorgeous coastal views all the way out to the light house which is right above the hut.
The hut itself was pretty awesome, they provide you with all your cooking appliances, dishes and cookware so really just needed to bring in your own food. This hut holds 23 people but we were there with just another group of 4, so lots of bunk bed options.
Overall this was a great first overnight track!Read more
