Description
Stay in Kōhanga Atawhai Hut on the shores of placid Lake Daniells
This modern, serviced 20-berth lodge is popular with Cantabrian family groups. So we'll need to book bunks beforehand.
Lake Daniell Track begins from the shelter at Marble Hill Campsite, near Springs Junction, on the Lewis Pass Highway (SH7). From the campsite shelter, the track enters the trees and soon crosses the Maruia River over a deep, narrow gorge called the Sluice Box. From there, the track continues alongside the Alfred River. The track passes through spendid red beech forest until it reaches the lake edge and the hut.
Being on a well-formed bench track, this is a great walk for families or those people new to tramping. I once walked to the hut in 2 hours by moonlight :-)
