  Sign of the Packhorse Hut: Mahaanui historic sites
Sign of the Packhorse Scenic Reserve, Mahaanui Area Office, Canterbury Conservancy, Department of Conservation.
The hut is built of locally quarried volcanic stone with timber joinery – windows on three elevations – affording remarkable views of the Scenic Reserve, Mount Bradley, Lyttelton Harbour and the Southern Alps in the distant west.
The Sign of the Packhorse, Sign of the Bellbird (1914) and Sign of the Kiwi (1917) were designed by Samuel Hurst Seager, one of the earliest architects to move away from historical styles and seek designs and plans with New Zealand character.

 Packhorse Inn - Home
Even to the most casual observer descending the steep hill from Bath through the little village of Southstoke the charming pub clinging to the hillside is an old one.
Curiously the house was, and still is, divided by a passage way through its middle that leads to the church, but it was not until 1647 that anyone thought to put up a door to keep out the draughts.
It was a custom for the dead from the Packhorse cottages opposite to be taken to their last resting place through this passage way and they would always leave a few pence in their will to buy a last round of drinks on their last visit to the pub.
