Stay
The Mud Hut
If it’s adventure you want and a memorable experience, stay right up the top of the mountain.
- Sleeps 4 in bunk beds
- Basic cooking facilities with pots and basic utensils provided
- Outdoor bath and toilet
This is a truly unique place to spend the night, with the original fire place panoramic views of the Garvie mountains and Native forest below.
Originally built by the Chinese Gold Miners during the construction of the water race in the 1890’s and reconstructed in 1990, The Mud Hut is the only building of its type that may be stayed in overnight.
It’s a rustic experience with yes – another outdoor bath (we love those baths!).
From here, it’s straight onto 2,000 hectares of nature’s playground – cycling or walking part of the second longest water race in NZ, hand restored by Tom with historic markers and a map to guide you. It’s a never-to-be forgotten experience!
