Notes
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. Edit Hut

Nice little cute hut, unfortunatelly it was so cloudy that I struggle to find this hut which is more like biv. But cool track from Arete forks hut to here, really enjoy it.
