Built in 1955. January, 2019, saw DOC's Jim Henderson lead a group of volunteers to renovate the hut, including painting the exterior, sprucing up the inside & completely rebuilding the door. Access is across pastoral lease land & permission is required. Contact DOC Waimakariri office for details. Only two of the three bunks have mattresses. Edit Hut
