  If you are going to do the Kepler great walk in a counterclockwise direction, you will get here for your second night (after Luxmore hut). You will love to see this place because you will have to descend about 1000 meters to get here. Going up to the Kepler mountains was not nearly as demanding as going down. You will be tired and sore, which is why you will love this place get you get here haha. There is plenty of water to drink. There is a short detour you can take after you arrive to nearby falls. This place though comes alive at night. There are a couple of kiwis here, if you want to see them make sure you bring a flashlight with a red filter (they can’t see red). If you don’t you will scare them away. There are many bunks, grab one away from a snoring person haha. Leave your shoes/boots tied up on coat hooks so the Kia bird don’t peck and destroy them.
