The third of 3 huts/ bivvies, it was built in 2007 to replace the moisture plagued Arete Hut No. 2. The new hut was built in Auckland by Foster Harris Ltd, transported south & then flown by a heavy-lift helicopter from Reef Hills farm. It was installed by Wairarapa builders, Chris Tait & Gordon Bennett. The present hut is located 200m southwest of the first two huts/ bivs. For background see https://gwbn.org.nz/our-huts/arete-hut/ Edit Hut
