Warning
Last Summer ('20) DoC had a bad infestation of Bed Bugs, which same took them a month to inform the community.
We stopped accepting bookings off the tracks for this reason.
DoC have informed us remedial measures have finally resulted in clean huts, and have promised to immediately inform us if any sign of re-infestation.
Sadly DoC inform us on 27th October they have reports of infection, and until further notice so we no longer accept bookings off DoC tracks
We deeply regret any inconvenience but our priority must be maintaining our high standards of cleanliness and protecting our guests health.
We give our guests a short DVD and photo album.
You can see a low-res version of it here
