Heaphy Hut | Heaphy Track, Kahurangi National Park

Heaphy Hut is new, of the mega-flash, five-star Great Walk variety, ie, big picture windows, four separate bedrooms, double glazing, mega-insulated, solar lighting, countless gas rings, and best of all, sufficiently long communal tables to enforce evening socialisation.

It’s all mega.

Hey, that kinda sounds like the Perry Saddle and James Mackay Huts.
