Notes
Maintained by Permolat (see www.remotehuts.co.nz). Extensively renovated mid Feb., 2017 by volunteers led by Alastair Macdonald. Early July, 2021, another Permolat crew, led by Jane Morris, recut the Miserable Ridge & Fraser Peak tops-tracks from Douglas Saddle. These improvements help create some great high-level circuits over Miserable Ridge to Rapid Creek in the Hokitika catchment, & over the Bald Hill Range to the Totara Valley. The team also installed a new fire surround & finished off some internal ply work. Edit Hut

Nice cold deep crossing in winter above small gorge in the upper Mikonui river on the way to hut.
