News...

The major works opposite the Arthur's Pass Visitor Centre is for the construction of new public toilets, bus park, car parks and septic waste disposal. The highway is also effected by this project with the construction of new footpaths and widening. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this project. Work is expected to be complete by late May.
Hawdon Hut no longer exists, it burnt down way back in June 2005. It will be replaced by end of 2007. Good camping and a toilet remain on the site.

Note: this website makes extensive use of Javascript for SPAM protection purposes (email) and more importantly to display "popup windows" for images, notes and feedback forms. Some modern browsers (especially Mozilla Firefox) allow the user to set whether a site has permission to create these windows. If you experience trouble viewing images this is probably the reason, go into your "tools/popup manager" menu and give permission to "softrock.co.nz".
