Notes
Built in 1962, the hut is operated by the Greater Wellington Regional Council. Although it is said to be for emergency use only, the 6 bunks & pot belly stove are pretty inviting. If you have any infectious diseases you are recommended not to go here as it is where Wellington gets it water from. Edit Hut
The hut has had a major tidy up, new fire box, fully repainted inside with new bunks made up, very nice hut, I came in and out via the spur behind the hut upto the Marchant track, steep but no Leatherwood:-)
