A large DOC hut in Hakatere Conservation Park with 19 single and double bunks. The track from Sharplin Falls is steep and rough and needs some tramping experience, and unbridged streams like Pony Stream can become impassable after heavy rain. The hut is also 3 hours from Woolshed Creek Hut on the Mt Somers Track.
