$140pn Totara Hut, is a walk in/ walk out style of accommodation. Perched on the side of the Chain hills, Totara hut offers views towards the Pacific Ocean and the Silverpeaks. Named for a stand of majestic mature Totaras, just minutes from the hut, it is the perfect place to unwind, bird watch or explore the outdoors. Based on a basic DOC hut but with some added luxuries, it is the perfect way to experience back country style accommodation 15minutes from Dunedin. The idea is you carry in all you need on one of the walks provided, walks range between 10min, 20min or 1hr. Options for gear drop offs if carrying gear is not an option for you. Totara hut is Dog friendly, we are a working farm so please have your dog on leads when passing stock or horses.

All proceeds from any bookings made for April will go towards the Kaimanawa Heritage Horses.
Fancy a night away in a cosy cabin? For April we are doing a sliding scale from $100-$150 pay what you can and we will send it through to help save a horse.
We are currently a walk in/ walk out location with potential for ride in/ ride out in the future :)

Don't have time for a night away? donations welcomed on the kaimanawa givealittle page.
