Dillon Hut | Arthurs Pass National Park
Dillon Hut is only a 10-minute wander from Homestead. This is one of the new breed of DOC huts with double glazing, insulation, and actually reasonable windows. That doesn’t stop people from complaining about a certain lack of character.
It’s not exactly a dramatic setting in amongst the regenerating bush in what was recently farmland, but it’s comfortable accommodation. You can’t complain about that.
