Just
over one hour’s drive from Dunedin followed by a 2–3 hour uphill walk, Leaning
Lodge sits just below the ridge of Pātearoa, the Rock and Pillar Range, in a
starkly dramatic environment of hulking schist tors and remarkable alpine flora
adapted to a wind-swept mix of sun, snow, mist and rain. It is one of regions
most accessible huts in an Alpine environment.
The hut is owned by the Otago Tramping and Mountaineering Club (OTMC) and managed by the Leaning Lodge Trust.
