Each sleepout contains 2 double mattresses that can hold a total of 4 occupants.  Only the entire sleepout can be booked, irrespective of the occupant numbers. Summer sleepouts are ideal for families, couples, or those just wanting a bit of privacy away from the main hut. The sleepouts do not have a heat source – because of this they are only available during the warmer months (September to May), so please plan accordingly. People booking the summer sleepouts are welcome to share the communal facilities of the main hut. Tent Sites There is 1 site for up to 2 people available at Lyell Saddle. Tent sites do not include the use of facilities in main communal huts. Tent site facilities include an outside basin area and composting toilet. Users are expected to be entirely self-sufficient for cooking (bring your own cookers, pots and cutlery).
