Fern Burn Hut | Mt Soho Station Pastoral Lease

Closest hut to Wanaka and therefore the most accessible on the Motatapu Track, Fern Burn Hut has a reasonable number of daytrippers and overnighters who don’t want to commit to the full expedition. Most Te Araroa trampers hike on past.

Another great setting for a comfortable hut. Unless you come in winter, you should note there is no heating.
