Chrissy Wickes a Biodiversity Ranger based in the Te Anau Area Office tells us why she loved her recent hut break.

Why I loved my recent tramping trip to Heather Jock Hut:

1) It was easy for the family to walk, a great little overnight treat.

2) We stayed in a really cool old hut in the tussock tops

A piece of history

3) We saw some amazing historic huts on the way to Heather Jock hut.

4) There was a wee bit of shade and a small waterfall on the way to give us relief from a very hot afternoon

5) Nobody else was staying there when we arrived – just as well as there were only 3 beds!
