Bushline Hut | Nelson Lakes National Park

Bushline Hut is perched on Mt Robert at the bushline. It overlooks Lake Rotoiti and St Arnaud, and that’s a fine view.

Great for a taste of what spending a night in a DOC hut is about.

It’s quite close to the Mt Robert carpark, although there is a fair degree of climbing involved.
