This is a standard six-bunk hut in the Glaciers area.

This is a standard six-bunk hut on stewardship land. 

Do not stay in the hut if heavy rain is forecast as the hut is at risk of flooding.  A massive amount of rock debris in the river bed creates serious flood risk to the hut.

Before you go, buy 1 Standard Hut Ticket (blue for adults, yellow for youth) for each night's stay. Put this in the honesty box at the hut. Or buy a Backcountry Hut Pass that gives unlimited use at most Standard and Serviced huts for a 12 month period.
