If you like the idea of feeding animals this can be an added bonus to your stay. We did also manage to see some stars through the skylights, which was nice. The bath is particularly nice after a long day tramping. This is quite good access to both Aoraki and Ohau. The salmon farm just down the road is also really nice. Inside the hut was warm even though the temperature outside could be quite cold.
I recommend that those who have a lot of things with them use their vehicle as storage.
