Hut owned by the Josef Langer Charitable Trust.

The track:

The last 300m of the road requires a 4wd. It's not a rough road, but it is steep, and quite slippery. Even in dry conditions our 2wd didn't make it.

There is multiple signs on the road saying 4wd only, but you can definitely keep going to the bottom of the steep section. If your car doesn't make it up the steep section, simply park on the grass near the sign here, and walk the extra 300m.

The walk is very straightforward. It follows a 4wd track, so not technical at all. There's some lovely bush, so it's not too exposed or boring either.

The hut:

The hut is well-equipped. Gas is provided, all your cutlery, crockery, etc. You only need to bring your own clothes, food, and sleeping bags.

There is space for 7 to sleep. Downstairs is a fold out couch + single bed, and there is an upstairs loft level with mattresses on the floor.

From the hut is a very enjoyable loop track. Fun for the kids and I thoroughly recommend.

Recommendations: The perfect first hut to visit. It's a very short distance, so you can easily return to the car if needed. With crockery etc provided, you don't need to bring or own lightweight options. You don't even need to own lightweight sleeping bags or anything yet, as you're not walking a huge distance so big and bulky gear doesn't matter. We visited this hut as my first hut postpartum with baby number 3, and it was perfect for this.
