Cavalier Hunters Hut | Rakiura National Park, Stewart Island

The Cavalier Hunters Hut is a much modified Rakiura hunters’ hut.

Close to Mason Bay beach, down the south end, so there’s plenty of firewood around.

Has all the amenities of the usual DOC hut, with some useful additions abandoned by previous hunting parties, pots and pans, etc.

For more information refer to the Rakiura Hunter Camp Trust website.

Not for use by casual trampers.
