Staying Overnight on the Island

Overnight accommodation is available, at a very reasonable cost, on Tiritiri Matangi in a bunkhouse that has four rooms. The bunkhouse is well equipped with all cooking utensils, freezer, refrigerator, gas stove and BBQ. Hot and cold running water, showers and bathroom facilities. When staying in the bunkhouse you will need to bring a sleeping bag, a pillow case, a sheet to cover the mattress if you wish, your food and a torch or flashlight to go walking at night. Your food should be in rodent free containers like a sealed box or in your pack. This is to help prevent an accidental introduction of rodents onto the Island as Tiritiri Matangi is rodent free.

Bookings for the bunkhouse need to be made through the Department of Conservation.  Bookings can be made through the on-line booking system: www.doc.govt.nz/tiritiribunkhouse  or by phoning the Warkworth Area Office Ph: 09 425 7812.
