Early in 1956 by Marlborough TC members. They felt a hut in the Gosling Valley would aid tramping in the Bounds Range. Permission to build on Te Arowhenua Climatic Reserve was obtained from the Lands & Survey Dept. The timber was pre-cut by Bernie Kennington over the winter & the lining donated by W. J. Kennington. Everything was carried in on club members’ backs, including the chimney on two manuka poles. On Labour weekend 1957, a large party of club members tramped in for a grand opening party. The final cost of the hut was $157.59. A concrete floor was laid in May, 1973, & over the years, improvements have been made. It was painted in 2014 & the late 2010's saw it upgraded by a team led by Kerry Millard. Permission to cross private land must be obtained. Edit Hut
