A Department of Conservation hut at the head of Lake Rotoiti, in the Travers River valley of Nelson Lakes National Park, near St Arnaud, at 630 metres. It is a common overnight tramp for families with children and for new trampers, and the walk to the swingbridge over the Travers River takes about two hours return. Fishing is possible in the river and the lake. It can be reached on foot via the Lakehead Track, about three hours from St Arnaud, or by water taxi, with a 15-minute walk from the jetty. The hut has basic facilities, cold water from a rain tank, and a wood burner. Firewood is supplied from October to April, and not from May to September. Hut tickets are bought for each night and put in the honesty box, or a Backcountry Hut Pass can be used, and passes are not accepted from October to April. Campers can use the hut's water and toilets. Bookings open online up to 30 June 2027, and there are no spaces held for people without a booking. The hut can be busy and occasionally full during school and public holidays. Visitors are asked to dry all gear for 48 hours before swimming in the lakes, and to use the biosecurity cleaning station at Lakehead Hut.
