Notes
Originally built in 1983 & used by NZFS & DOC staff respectively, in the Wharfdale Saddle area, before being relocated by DOC to its current site in 1992. The photo of the biv on the bushline is where it was left whilst the track back to Mt Thomas was cut. It was then relocated to its final site, where it stands today. Edit Hut

Not the best location - water is limited and hard to access (I got stung by wasps multiple times accessing the water source in March when I was there). Cosy hut with toilet nearby. Not a lot of sun getting into the clearing, and no view.

Strange fire pit outside, full of rubbish and whole area is quite wet, not very pleasant spot, not sure if you will find some water during summer.
