Selwyn Huts



A recent Sunday afternoon drive took us to Selwyn Huts, just a bit south of Christchurch.
There are two settlements near where the Selwyn River empties into Te Waihora
(Lake Ellesmere). The one we stopped at is the nearest to the lake. These are humble, honest baches that give their owners a great of joy and pride. Most are used by fisherfolk and game bird shooters, some are permanently inhabited. We were very graciously invited into one by proud owner. Dennis gave us a complete tour of his bachelor house. The two top pictures are of his place. He was trying to sell his boat. I'm sure he'd love to hear from anyone who was interested in it.
