Howard's Hut is a private Hutel (a hut that is essentially a resting place and can be used as a hotel) in the Lake Grace area of Arthur's Pass National Park in Canterbury, New Zealand. The hut is named after Howard Barnes, who has set up a self containing house in the deep mountains and has made it self-sufficient by providing electricity.

Stay safe
If you are walking alone or just want to be careful you are advised to fill out a ticket stating your route and itinerary and leave it at the office in town. Wardens check these nightly. You do off course have to return to remove it on schedule to prevent a search and rescue. Its usually best to let someone else know as well.
