This charming hut is a testament to the rugged roadworkers who built the district’s transport network by pick and shovel a century ago. The two-bed hut is basic accommodation by anyone’s standards but would have been a welcome sight at the end of a cold central South Island day.

Lake Tekapo is a glacial lake located in the Mackenzie Basin, known for its turquoise blue waters and stunningly beautiful landscapes. Surrounded by towering mountain ranges and rugged geological formations, this picturesque region is a popular destination for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers alike. The hut itself is located just a short distance from the lake and is a must-see for anyone looking to explore the history of the region.
