When they say you cross farmland it's 9km of it including gravel road walking all dry, then its some lovely bush and then cross the river 3 times highest point for us was knees, water freezing but welcomed. The hut is 2 rooms 6 beds in each, could do with a great scrub down, outside tank currently empty due to a faulty tap. But stunning views over the river, and apparently great tasting trout. We had no trouble finding the where to cross the rivers with the markings and the blue pole. Plenty of tenting space as well. Weather was great with a bout of rain overnight
