Cobb Hut | Kahurangi National Park

Cobb Hut is an older-style hut that was built as part of the Cobb Reservoir hydro-power generation scheme as accommodation for some workers and relocated further up the valley, primarily because there was a rainfall recording station that needed to be read once a week nearby.

For those who don’t want to join the crowds in the nearby and more generously proportioned Fenella Hut.
