Bull Creek Hut | Arthurs Pass National Park

Bull Creek Hut is a compact four-bunk hut with the short bunks interleaved and stacked sardine-style. Would be very cozy for four people.

It has an interesting history, having been built originally in 1954 from mostly bush timber, then almost completely rebuilt in 1989, reusing the same flat galvanised steel. Re-roofed and repainted, with the toilet and woodshed built in 2016.

Noted for its sandfly population.
