Notes
To get here follow the ridge opposite Te Waiti up to 467 & up to Lion Hill or up to 685 from the Tutaetoko River. White markers & pink tape marks the trail. Say hi to Jamie the weka at the hut! Apparently it is staff accommodation. Update 14.09.2017 Possumer Bernie (BavarianKiwi) & DoC put in the firebox & chimney, so no more cold winters & you can cook on it as well. Edit Hut

Someone landed a microlight in the flats outside of this hut back in the 80s.

The trail up to 703 from the hut is dodgy. Walk up the ridge and along. View the photos for a map of how to get here. If you're interested in other trails in the area, look at the photos for Savlon, Lagoon and Te Waiti Hill.
