Tararua Tramping Club - Facilities

Clubrooms

Our Clubrooms 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 Room

We 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, first aid kits and a food dehydrator.

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.

Library

The 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 Turnbull Library for safe-keeping.

Tararua Lodge

Tararua Tramping Club Lodge is our unique alpine lodge situated on the northern slopes of Mt. Ruapehu within the Whakapapa ski area, in Tongariro National Park and World Heritage area.

Tararua Lodge is available for use by non-members, although at least one of the party must be a TTC member.

Club Huts

Today we maintain four tramping 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.
