Big Hellfire Hut Guide

  • Place: Rakiura National Park
  • Facilities: Big Hellfire Hut stands at about 211 m on a forested ridge in Rakiura National Park, offering 12 bunks and a wood‑burner that now warms weary trampers after a 2021 DOC‑Backcountry Trust refurbishment. Originally a staff hut relocated in the late 1980s, it lies on the remote Northwest Circuit with water from an untreated tank—so boil before use—and is managed by DOC.
