Carrington Hut
Arthur's Pass National Park
A large hut in the upper Waimakariri River, and often the first or last hut on a longer trip.
The extensive hut has eight rooms: four bunk rooms (each with 3 sets of bunks in 3 tiers), a foyer, a washroom, and two living spaces (one with log burner).
This is the third hut on site, built 1975. The first was built 1926, and the second around 1940.
