Syme Hut

I’ve been to the Pouakai Circuit side of Mt Taranaki several times, however over Queens Birthday Weekend this year we decided to give the other side a go as the weather forecast looked good and stay at Syme Hut.

We did the Syme Hut loop with Lake Dive Hut over 3 days / 2 nights and the two huts are both really fantastic. Syme hut is a basic small 10 bunk hut that makes you feel like you’re on top of a world and Lake Dive hut is a cosy little hut by the lakeside with a good fireplace. I’ll be back up here to do a summit attempt for sure.
