Located in the north eastern Kaweka Forest Park, Middle Hill Hut is situated in a flat, sheltered site where the open manuka/kanuka scrublands meet red beech forest.

Built in 1963 this hut was upgraded in 2003 with a large north-facing covered veranda. Middle Hill Hut is one of the few ex NZFS huts that still retains an open fireplace. The hut is sited in a open sunny clearing at 980 metres and experiences a wide range of climatic conditions which can include brief snowfalls during cold southerly weather and heavy winter frosts.
