Poor Pete's Hut
Kahurangi National Park
This old orange shack is no longer maintained by DOC, but has been left to the tramping community to care for. Despite the shabby exterior, the hut is reasonably comfortable. Limited water is available from a rainwater drum outside the hut, with tarns a few hundred metres east. There is a clear spot for camping on the rise just behind the hut.
The hut is located on the Thousand Acres Plateau, a handsome and wide tussock landscape.
