welcome to Gunn country - Gunns Camp

We made our way from Milford Sound to Gunns Camp. Here once whole families lived during the depression era of the 1920's/30's while the men worked hard to build a connecting road to Milford Sound. We stayed in small log cabins, heat came from a wood burner and electricity came from a generator and came on at 5:30pm and was off at 10pm, i had one of the best showers i've ever had here! The camp is set on the banks of a glacial stream down the Hollyford valley, it truley is off the beaten track and very isolated. The camp is very quirky and a great place to be for walking and a bit of peace and quiet. There is no intenet or phone signal here, so it was nice to have a break from it all.

It's definately worth spending a night here just to step back in time and imagine what lif was like for the families who lived here and the men who helped to connect the area to the rest of New Zealand.
