Gunn’s camp is situated 8km off the Milford Road down the Hollyford Valley, and 8km from the end of the road to the start of the Hollyford track. Its only one hour drive to Milford Sound and a great base for the most beautiful day walks: Key Summit, Homer Saddle, Humboldt Waterfalls, Lake Marion, Hidden Falls, Falls Creek, Lake Howden, Lake Gunn, Gertrude Saddle, Moraine Creek; to name a few.
Hi Frank
I first visited Gunn camp in about 1967 with Mum and Dad on the drive around the South Island. I have been back several times and find the camp and the Hollyford one of the most beautiful places on earth….
I hunt in this valley on occasion and value the fact that it remains largely unchanged since the 60’s.
I am greatly concerned that the values of this area may be compromised in the future by a tunnel, construction, buses and infrastructure.
In my opinion some things are worth protecting and this valley is one of them.
Cheers
Pete
Hi Peter,
i think the same we should not destroy our national park with the tunnel project, it is simply to beautiful to go out hiking or tramping and have the peace and silence around you. the scenery of lower Hollyford will not profit of all the excavation from the tunnel, at all. Hope so much every is kept as it is to save our NAtional Park for our children
