Kiwi Burn Hut | Snowdon Forest Conservation Area
Kiwi Burn Hut is a short walk up the creek, and across some river flats from the Te Araroa official track and has the feel of an old 1950s school, maybe it’s those red vinyl tiles on the floor.
Lots of windows and two bunkrooms make it worth the minor diversion from the official track.
