First of all the hut was clean and modern...well laid out. It was our first experainace of anything like this...but on a cold wet day it was a very cramped space to have to deal with cases and wet outside clothing. ...It rains a lot here...+ dealing with a one sided bed was exciting. That said on a sunny day and if you are into this sort of thing I am sure it is fine...just not for us.
At the moment there is no access to Fox Glacier...which was the point of coming here.
