Parking:

 Park at the small marked carpark just before the end of the Cobb Reservoir Road.

The Track:

The track is very short slightly uphill through the grass to the hut. It's very easy and short - you can see the hut well before you get to it.

Hut:

 The hut is an older small 4-bunk hut. It is situated right at the bush edge.

Single bunks, but if you've got the space to yourselves, enough space to pop mattresses down on the floor to co-sleep.

Recommendations:

 This would be a great first hut due to its proximity to the road - you can easily grab extra things from the car if needed or do multiple trips if you've got tons of stuff to carry with kids and gear.

It is a tiny hut so likely only enough space for one family at a time. Easy to head over to Trilobite instead if its full though.

Just the road to get here is very windy so be careful if you've got carsick kids.
