Milford Track huts and shelters

A big roof, adjacent to the Roaring Burn suspension bridge to allow shelter from the weather.

This hut is a 1973 reconstruction by Bill Anderson and Sandy Brown, near the original location, of the first two huts built for the Milford Track here in 1890 and which were used until 1897.

Very basic shelter, ie, dirt floor, adjacent to Marlene’s Creek to allow shelter from the weather while waiting for the creek levels to lower in the winter months when the bridges are removed.

Set at a forest/wetlands interface with views to the impressively steep mountains, if you get a distant view, the nearby waterfalls if you don’t.

After the gloom and confines of Mintaro Hut this is majorly airy and spacious.

Two very basic shelters, ie, just a narrow roof with a bench beneath.

A fully enclosed alpine shelter, complete with airlock, and room for 40 trampers to give protection from the elements.

you will feel you are right in the heart of the Fiordland mountains.

A shelter to house packs while trampers venture unemcumbered up to the Sutherland Falls.

A fully enclosed shelter, ie, with a door and flyscreens on the windows, used if you don’t time your run to the boat at Milford Sound to perfection.
