Not to be confused with New Zealand’s typical alpine huts, Whare Kea Chalet offers an elevated experience – where comfort is paramount, without detracting from the rugged wilderness, the chalet provides:

Two double bedrooms

Spacious loft

Staff bunkroom

Central heating

Power

Hot shower

Large windows framing incomparable views.

Designed to maximise the opportunities of the incredible location whilst minimising the impact on the environment, the building’s roof holds snow for insulation and solar cells for power, contributing to Whare Kea Chalet’s green credentials.

We also have webcams and a weather station installed at the Chalet. These feed up-to-the-minute video of weather conditions, showing a 3 day time lapse which is used by local businesses and specialist adventurers.
