Access is across pastoral lease land courtesy of Lees Valley Station. Permission is required from the station to visit areas "outside" of the marked (poled) route up to Tarn Hut. Contact Waimakariri Area Office Ph 03 313 0820 for run holder details. Neal Bocock (DOC ranger) reports the log burner was installed in 1993. Edit Hut
Quite a dark hut but cozy and in a great location. A solid structure that kept us safe from very strong winds overnight!
NB: The turn-off from Lees Valley Road to Youngman Stream track was padlocked preventing car access to the start of the track.
