Boyd Lodge
Perhaps NZ's premier hunting hut, nestled above the wide open spaces of the Ngaruroro River valley. Boyd Hut is a classic 'Lockwood' style cabin similar to Oamaru and Waipakihi Huts, with two bunkrooms either side of the main kitchen.

From the west the 'usual' route is along overgrown tracks from Thuderbolt via Ecology Stream / Te Piri - persission required: Helisika. Other routes are also possible. NB: Much of the surrounding land is private Maori land, and requires access permits.
