For the hiker or adventurer, we have a mountain hut located near the summit of Mt Brown, right on the Heysen Trail.

Ideal for walkers/hikers, mountain bikers, or just those who want to escape, this rustic little hut opens up a different perspective on life. Hike the day away then sit around the outside fire ring and enjoy the tranquility. Retire to your bed inside the hut, alongside a cosy old wood stove. The attached bathroom offers a bush shower and a flush toilet, just to add a little bit of convenience to your mountain experience.

Heysen Trail hikers, have you thought of having a day of relaxation then continue your hike the following day? We can organize your provisions to be dropped at the Hut! (costs apply)

Access to the Hut is by foot from Heysen Trail, or from Catninga Homestead.
Brian can drive you by 4WD (costs apply), by negotiation with Brian or Heather (weather permitting).
