Surrounded on all sides by the towering mountains of the spectacular Fiordland National Park, this hut is an extremely popular climbers hangout. From this base, the rock and snow of the Darrans is on your doorstep. Altitude: 900m. Bookings are not required, bunk space available on a first come first serve basis. Warden resident during the summer months. Facilities: 30 bunks, 3 bunk rooms, gas stoves, utensils, common room, water tank (untreated, rain run-off collection).

Hut users are expected to supply their own toilet paper, cleaning products and t-towels. Access by road via the Eglinton and Upper Hollyford Valleys, car access to within 200m of hut.
