Tomahawk Hut – A Quiet Escape in the Victorian High Country

Tomahawk Hut – Simple, Scenic, and Seriously Underrated

If you’re looking to escape the crowds and tap into a more laid-back High Country vibe, Tomahawk Hut should be on your list. Tucked between more well-known destinations, it’s often passed by—but that’s exactly what makes it special.

This is the kind of place where you roll out your swag, kick back with a view, and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Victorian Alps without another rig in sight.

A Little Hut with a Big Backdrop

Tomahawk Hut is a modest shelter with classic slab construction, nestled in open country surrounded by snow gums. It was originally used by cattlemen moving stock across the Tomahawk Valley and remains a great example of functional bush craftsmanship.

Today, it stands strong thanks to care from local volunteers and is a reliable waypoint for 4WDers exploring tracks around Mt Howitt and Lovick’s Hut.

How to Get There

Tomahawk Hut sits in a scenic clearing with several access routes:

Best access:

• From Lovick’s Hut via King Billy Track
• Or via Bluff Link Road, connecting out to Mount Howitt

These tracks are 4WD only, with steep and rocky sections, especially in wet weather. This area is also seasonally closed in winter, so check conditions before heading out.

Camping at Tomahawk Hut

What it lacks in facilities, it makes up for in atmosphere.

Camping features:

• Grassy, flat sites
• Fire pits (BYO firewood)
• Stunning sunrises and long, quiet nights

It’s ideal for:

• Small groups
• Solo adventurers
• Overnight stops between Bluff and Howitt loops

No toilets, no reception—just Alpine goodness.

Why Tomahawk Deserves a Spot on Your Map

Tomahawk is what the High Country’s all about: wild places, open space, and the feeling of being off the grid.

It might not be as famous as Craig’s or Bluff, but that’s the point. This is your secret stop, the one you tell mates about with a grin—and maybe keep a little quiet too. Mark the Moment with a Tomahawk Hut Sticker
