Mountainhut.NZ
We are always asked about how the little hut in the mountains came to be. Here is an independent vimeo put together by Joe Patchett illustrating the colourful and arduous process of the birthing of mountainhut.nz.

For those wanting privacy and access to the great Kiwi outdoors, book into Otago’s Mountain Hut.
Arrive by helicopter at this cosy, handcrafted hut located on the slopes of Mt Larkins.
This Airbnb offers a hosted, overnight experience where guests can relax in front of the fire or explore the grandeur of New Zealand’s back country with a spot of skiing through the snow fields in winter or mountain biking from the tops to the valley floor in summer.
“It’s a very unique and different experience for people who like spending time up high,” said co-owner Christine Kelly. “It gives you a moment to contemplate and not be involved in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.”

Diaries Downunder 2014 | Episode 5 | Steep White – An unbelievable overnight October snow adventure in New Zealand.
It is Springtime here in Queenstown, NZ and everybody is getting out on the lake, up the hills on their mountain bikes and enjoying the sunshine and warmth but just because the lifts have closed for the season, it doesn’t mean that the snow adventures have to stop! This is one that you and 4 friends can do from June until November and you won’t be disappointed.
In this episode Nick Hyne, Nick Brown and Mack James visit a high alpine hut deep in hobbit country. Being October it is now definitely Spring in NZ but ‘Steep White’ hut sits at 1800 metres above sea level and it is still winter up there! The crew delve deep into the lakeside chutes of Mount Alaska and then spend the night in the comforts of this kitted-out hut and wake up fresh enough to double cork.
This episode is a banquet of mind blowing snowboarding that will be torture for the snow starved shredder.
The Snowdome – Mountainhut since 1998
Look how far mountainhut/nz has come! This is the first marketing image and script, from 1998 Winter, just after the first half globe shape hut was heli lifted in. The beginning of so many happy times for many guests – staying and playing!!
