Valentine hut is an alpine hut is Kosciuszko National Park in New South Wales, Australia. It was originally built in the 1950s to support a surveying crew. The name Valentine was derived because it was painted red, with white hearts. Over the years the hut has been repainted and the original valentine theme no longer exists. Currently the Hut is painted a brownish colour.
The Hut is located close to Valentine Falls. As of writing this article there is no public vehicle access to this hut. Most Hikers tend to walk in from Guthega Power Station which is part of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme. This route takes walkers past Horse Camp Hut, Whites River Hut and Schlink Hut also commonly called the Schlinks Hilton (Although it has no reference to the Hilton Hotel Group). Many walkers like to stop at Valentine's hut because it is a good resting spot while walking towards Mount Jagungal or Pretty Plains.
