Stern Valley sleepouts | Kahurangi National Park

Not insulated and not adequately insect screened, the wind can whistle through between the timber cladding. All rough-sawn timber that doesn’t allow proper cleaning.

Yeah, sub-standard accommodation that doesn’t come close to meeting DOC standards. Or the New Zealand Building Code.
