School Meadow Hut

  • Duration: 20 Hours
  • Location: Wanaka, Otago
  • Product code: Meadow Hut School
By far the most popular hut on the Snow Farm, the Meadow hut is nestled against the start of the Roaring Meg River and can sleep up to 20 people. Not even a decade old, the hut has solar lighting, is well insulated and is ideal for large and small groups. It is also only a relatively short distance from the trailhead, and you can ski, snowshoe or walk (summer, spring or autumn) from the main base area – approximately 4.5 km.


The hut is accessible in summer by walking or mountain biking, there is no motorised access without prior permission. During summer there is no gear transfer to and from the huts, and you must carry in and carry out everything you take with you, especially your rubbish.

The huts are fully equipped with cutlery, plates, pots, pans, mugs and full gas hobs to cook on. We also supply dishwashing detergent, tea towels and there is a toilet on site as well. Solar lighting will keep you illuminated at night, and no candles are permitted at the huts due to fire risk. 

While there is no cell phone coverage at the Meadow Hut, a short walk up and out of the valley to the east will get cellphone (Vodafone) cellphone coverage. 

Exclusive hut bookings may take one support vehicle in with them; however, if weather conditions are not favourable management reserves the right to decline vehicle access, all guests should be able to transport themselves to the hut if the conditions are not suitable for vehicle support. This is to preserve the trails and the environment at the Snow Farm.
