Iris Burn Hut | Kepler Track, Fiordland National Park

Iris Burn Hut is not quite as dramatic a setting as Luxmore Hut and those bigtime views but a pleasant enough spot to be resting your feet. You might even start to talk to your fellow travellers since it’s often the second night together and, there’s going to be plenty to share after the wander from Luxmore.

Worth the traipse up to the Iris Burn waterfall about 20 minutes walk away, sometimes it’s these pack-less walks where you can slow down and appreciate your surroundings.
