Anchorage Hut | Abel Tasman Coastal Track

Smack on the splendid north-facing beach, unveiled in October 2013, Anchorage Hut is genuine five-star accommodation, ie, flush toilets, double-glazed, filtered water, four separate bedrooms, etc.

Basically, so-called “backcountry” huts don’t come any more luxurious than this. Did I mention it’s right on a magnificent beach?
