Boulder Lake Historic Hut | Kahurangi National Park

Boulder Lake Historic Hut is a good example of an older-style hut from back in the day, although few would choose the older version for the comfort, space, and amenity offered by the new.

Yeah, it’s adjacent to a fine waterfall and pool, and very close to the newer hut.
