Description

This is a 28-bunk hut located on the Heaphy Track located in Kahurangi National Park in the Golden Bay area. Bookings are required and fees apply. Facilities include heating, mattresses, non-flush toilets and water (not treated - boil before use). Perry Saddle Hut also has gas cooking but you'll need to bring your own cooking utensils. It also has lighting. Situated in the fold of Perry Saddle with high hills either side, the hut has an alpine feel. There are spectacular views out to the distant tooth-shaped peaks known as Dragons Teeth and Mt Olympus, and glimpses of the red tussock grasslands that the track crosses. Take a dip in the deep but cold pool in Gorge Creek near the hut. Listen for great spotted kiwi at night.
