About this hut
Situated at 1092 m and nestled amongst leatherwood, this hut enjoys stunning views across to the west and east.
The hut was restored by Backcountry Trust volunteers, who also painted the beautiful artwork on the hut.
In addition to the two bunks, there is a raised platform that can be used for sleeping. No mattresses are provided on the platform.
