Jim's Flat Hut is a basic four-bunk hut on the West Coast, set within the Ahaura River and Lake Brunner catchments inland from Greymouth. Surrounded by classic West Coast bush and river country, it's a quiet, off-the-grid spot to settle in for the night.

The hut is a simple, no-fuss backcountry shelter kitted out with mattresses and heating, making it a comfortable little base after a day exploring the area. With only four bunks, it suits a small group looking for a genuine backcountry feel.

The drive in is part of the appeal, and the hut rewards you with amazing views out over the river. It's an easy place to soak up the peace and quiet.
