It's a pity there is no fireplace here, but since it is above the treeline and they didn't want it to be a serviced hut they decided to not add one. Great view over Levin by night.

Great hut, great location. Excellent views. Well laid out and surprisingly warm despite the lack of fireplace. Even has a hose outside for rinsing off muddy boots which is a nice touch.
