Angelus Hut is a serviced 28-bunk backcountry hut in Nelson Lakes National Park, at 1,650 metres on the shores of Lake Angelus, with mountain views all around. A campsite sits outside the hut, and both the hut and the campsite need to be booked all year. Four routes reach the hut: via Mt Cedric, via Pinchgut and Robert Ridge, via Speargrass, and via Travers and Cascade. The Pinchgut and Robert Ridge route is the most popular in fine weather, and the Speargrass route is often used to leave in bad weather.
The site warns of snow, ice, avalanche risk and sub-zero temperatures on all routes. From May to October in most years the lake is frozen and snow covers the routes. Water and firewood may not be available at the hut. Bookings are open up to 30 June 2027, and a $10 service fee applies to phone and in-person bookings made at a visitor centre (as at 2026). A Backcountry Hut Pass can be used from 1 May to 30 September, and bag storage is available at the Rotoiti/Nelson Lakes Visitor Centre.
