Anatoki Forks Hut | Kahurangi National Park
Built by NZFS/NZDA, it is a light-filled and spacious six bunker, with a famous feature seldom found working in other DOC huts: a hot water tank and a shower, complete with a floral shower curtain.
It is hard to picture the surroundings as an encampment for a number of gold prospectors, but highly stacked rocks show some of the effort put in.
