< activities | Why | huts > Tararua Tramping Club - Facilities ClubroomsOur Club rooms are a valuable asset. They are 100% owned by the club and we hire them out to several other
organisations - including other tramping clubs! For information regarding club room hire
contact our club rooms booking officer (see club contacts page).
Gear RoomWe have a gear room which is open each club evening for members to draw and/or return gear for club trips (no charge) or to hire for private trips. Hire equipment includes: Tents, tent poles, tent flies, billies, axes, ice axes, crampons and first aid kits. Our club supports the hut ticket
system for staying in back country huts. Tickets are available for purchase
from the Gear Room on club nights.
LibraryThe clubrooms are also the home for our library.
One of our librarians is present each Tuesday night for members wishing to borrow or
return books or magazines. Some of our more historic literature has been forwarded to the
for safe-keeping.
Tararua LodgeTararua Tramping Club Lodge is our alpine lodge situated on the northern slopes of Mt. Ruapehu; a 20 to 15 minute walk from the top of the Rock Garden or Centennial chairlifts, or upto a 45 minute walk or more, depending on conditions, from the the Top O The Bruce road end. Tararua Lodge is available for use by non-members, although at least one of the party must be a TTC member.
Club HutsToday we maintain four huts and our mountain lodge. Cone , Field and Kime are "open" huts and all lie within the Tararua Forest Park. Waerenga is a locked hut in the Rimutaka Forest Park. |
