★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stunning! Kaikoura on one side, then gigantic mountains on the other. The hut is in the perfect location with great shelter from the wind and views directly from the hut

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Relatively small but, operates on first in gets the spot. Has a lovely fireplace inside. I did not see any water, but not sure if I looked hard enough.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Knarly climb on the bike. But the views are stunning on a clear day.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Yeah, i loved this place. Great views of kaikoura, awesome view of the stars on a clear night and there is also cellphone reception up there for those people who can't quite leave Instagram or Snapchat alone.
There is water up here and a long drop toilet. Make sure you let people know when using the toilet as it has a glass window in the door!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stunning views almost felt as if I could have thrown a rock from the summit to Kaikoura. Walk was a slog DO NOT DO THIS ON A DAY THAT IS A LITTLE TOO HOT!!!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely stunning spot. The climb to the top is well worth it for a sunrise. We camped and it was lovely, having the tent open out with a view to the ocean was priceless. A very pleasurable hike, overnight in and out means you can bring some tasty snacks! I enjoyed everything I saw, and there were some magnificent sights that is for sure. 1n4m82OTTT4K_dqy37MdF8o9kBCPL1wlX

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A pretty continuous uphill tramp from Mt Fyffe Carpark takes you to the lookout.
Take a break. Then keep trudging up till you reach the somewhat flat secrion at 1100m with the gorgeous hut.
This hut does not offer reservations. Has 8 bunks. A wood burner. The hut is pretty well built and insulated. But expect the doors to creak and squeak under high winds.
There is water available. But recommended to treat or boil before consumption.
There is a drop toilet about 10m from the hut.
Enjoy spectacular views of the Kaikoura Peninsula. Sunrise and sunset can be gorgeous if there are clouds in the sky.
This place also offers a dark sky experience on clear nights. The stars are clear and bright. You could almost pluck them out of the sky :-)
Another 500m climb takes you to the Mt Fyffe summit. But its uphill most of the way.
The route to the hut from the car park is tree lined, so views aren't commonplace apart from the gaps and lookout point. But on a windy day works as a blessing and gives plenty of cover.
Not the most picturesque of NZ hikes but definitely rewarding once you reach the hut.
Get your backcountry hut passes from the Kaikoura iSite to use for your stay. At $5 a night, that's a steal!
