Luxmore Hut | Kepler Track, Fiordland National Park
Luxmore Hut is one of the most popular huts around due to its proximity to Lake Te Anau township, and there’s a lot of talk about the intense view. The living area has been extended, and there’s plenty of space in the kitchen area and around the tables. The bunkrooms, well, that’s something different; it’s best to bring your earplugs.
Luxmore Hut is tucked away to avoid looking directly at the farmland and township 800 m below; instead, the view is north across the South Fjord of Lake Te Anau to the Murchison Mountains beyond.
