Built by the NZFS about 1966 & demolished in October, 2019, by members of the Rakiura Hunter Camp Trust (RHCT). The RHCT took over management of the hut in 2000. In 2001, Brian Morgan & co, added the veranda & replaced the open fire with a pot belly stove. The interior had been tidied up too but the hut was starting to show its age. The RHCT was reluctant to spend more money on it & a new hut was built a short distance away in November, 2017 (see 'Christmas Village Hunters Hut'). Edit Hut
