Description: Shows figures on three horses dismounting at hut in centre left background. Hut appears to be of wood, with wooden chimney, and iron roof. A cart approaches in right distance. The title begins with 'and reach the hut' so is presumably a continuation of information in a diary or on another picture. Dated around 1890 as this is assumed to be the exterior of Mrs Birley's establishment shown in A-169-032. She is listed in Wises as a hotel-keeper in Queenstown during the 1880s, and then at Glenorchy in 1890-91. In 1892, J.K. Birley is listed as the hotel-keeper of Mt Earnslaw Hotel, Glenorchy, which may be a grander establishment than this one!

Beyond this in the right background is Wellington Harbour and the flat area of Lower Hutt. In the centre background behind the circular garden, is the shingle roof, finial, brick chimney, and H-shaped metal chimney-pot of a neighbouring house, possibly that owned in 1878/79 (see Wise's Post Office Directory) by Joseph Nancarrow.
