Top Dingle Burn Hut | Hāwea Conservation Park

Access requires a 500 m climb and descent from Ahuriri Base Hut, but it’s worth the effort. The view from the ridgetop of the head of the Dingle Burn Valley is particularly scenic.

The hut is in a well-maintained condition and isn’t overly frequented. One of the nicest settings in the area.

Has been repainted, with stainless steel benching, new plywood flooring, new front porch, and new woodshed built.
