Port William Hut | Rakiura National Park, Stewart Island

Port William Hut is sited at the location of an early settlement from the 1870s, although little evidence remains except for the large gum trees.

Close to a beach where enthusiasts might swim or fish, but at high tide only. Kiwis are often heard here in the evenings. In summer, earplugs might be a good investment, ie, for sleeping.
