Tips

Moturau Hut is a refuge with 40 places divided into dormitories. As with the other two Kepler Track refuges, it is essential to reserve your place well in advance:
doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/fiordland/places/fiordland-national-park/things-to-do/huts/moturau-hut

In addition, this refuge, unlike Iris Burn, does not have any camping pitches nearby.

Moturau Hut is installed on a privileged site, facing Lake Manapouri, right in the center of Shallow Bay. This will allow you to dine or drink your morning coffee while enjoying a unique view of the fjords.

The hut is in a completely different position… the hut sits nicely above a beach
