- Frampton's Hut is a standard 6-bunk hut; the only hut in the Waima Forest of Northland, New Zealand. Built about 40 years ago, it was a farmstead belonging to a farmer known as 'Frampton', but as farming the tops of the range fell out of fashion the grassland regenerated back into native bush and DOC converted the farmstead into a hut.

"Huts of New Zealand" is a new video series I'm creating, in which I travel to backcountry huts all around NZ to record, review and rate my experiences to give you a better idea of what to expect when you go hiking around our beautiful country.

We just visited Framptons Hut and the car parking area at the end of Mountain Road has been extended quite significantly. Much easier to turn car around and park now (Oct 22).
Cool little hut, and bit of history.
Reminds me of the history of Crosbie's hut and easy grade access up waiotahi track being the old pack track.
Thanks mate! Yeah true, I hope to get to crosbies this year. There are so many different tracks leading to that hut, do you know which track would be best for me to cover in a video?
@@LostKiwi Karaka for views, Waiotahi for history 14.7k, whangaiterenga camp for difficulty 9.6k, te puru for easiest (Tapu Coroglen road entrance). Does that help?
There's a few more huts hidden in the Waima.
True, but this is the only DOC hut
@@LostKiwinah there’s a few more
@@4J_mafia any hints as to where to find em? Only know of framptons and six foot
