Sat 1 - Sun 2 August
Macauley Hut, Lake Tekapo
Moderate
We are planning on leaving on Friday afternoon (if we have a two cars there may be an earlier and later leaving option), stay Friday night at the Lake Tekapo Backpackers price approximately $35 a night, option here to go to the hot pools or ice skate if you wish. Next morning drive to beginning of the track where we leave cars and take a 5 hours tramp to the hut following 4x4 track and the river.
This hut is maintained by the Mackenzie Alpine Trust and the local Community and can be used by means of donation. If you wish you can donate items to further improve the hut for the benefit everyone: <http://nz-outdoor.blogspot.co.nz/p/macaulay-hut.html>
