Notes
Built in 1942, this belonged to the Hutt Valley Tramping Club. It was unlocked during the 1970's & at the time, available for use by the public. The hut was removed in March, 2010, as Matthews Stream was getting too close. Edit Hut

Not a private hut when I visited in the late 1970s. As it was not locked please leave as a publicly accessible hut.

Visited numerous times on HVTC trips when I was a child. Mum was the bookings officer and held the key. Eventually Baines stream brought a lot of gravel down that lifted the bed and raised the water levels, causing the hut to begin to get buried. It was demolished and removed.
