About Bev's Tramping Gear Hire
Bev's Tramping Gear Hire is a beloved Te Anau institution and the go-to spot for trampers needing to kit out for Fiordland's legendary multi-day tracks. Operating from a shop at 16 Homer Street, the family business has spent years helping walkers tackle the Milford, Kepler, Routeburn and Hollyford tracks without having to carry every piece of gear from home.
The hire range covers everything a backcountry trip demands: backpacks, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, tents, cooking equipment, rain jackets, gaiters and boots, plus alpine essentials like ice axes and crampons for shoulder-season and winter conditions. Gear can be hired by the day or for the length of a track, and the team offers honest, practical advice on what each walk actually requires so visitors neither under-pack nor lug unnecessary weight.
What makes Bev's special is the personal, no-fuss service and decades of accumulated local knowledge about Fiordland's notoriously changeable weather. For international visitors and Kiwis alike who arrive in Te Anau without the right kit, Bev's makes the Great Walks accessible, affordable and safe, earning a loyal following and consistently glowing reviews.
