James MacKay Hut | Heaphy Track, Kahurangi National Park
James MacKay Hut is the typical you-beaut 5-star luxury accommodation that DOC is insisting on building for the Great Walks these days. Big picture windows, insulation, separate bedrooms, lighting, just posh accommodation.
If the weather permits there is a huge view down to the mouth of the Heaphy River as a bonus.
