DOC's facilities: Glenorchy and the Routeburn Track

For general information on accomodation at Glenorchy, follow this link!

Routeburn track - you can only stay at the Department of Conservation's (DOC) huts or campsites. Although this may sound a bit castrating, it is actually perfectly reasonable as a substantial part of the track takes you through Alpine (=fragile) areas.
For reservations, you have to contact the DOC's website. Do it ahead of time as this path is getting more and more popular!
