Notes
Built in 1958 by the NZFS, it is one of the earliest NZFS four-bunk structures. The frame & floor were adzed & constructed from pit-sawn Halls Totara from the surrounding forest. The walls were simple iron cladding with a chicken wire / tar paper inner lining. Some of the original floorboards were replaced with chain-sawn macrocarpa planks at some point. The hut originally had a flat iron cladded porch attached but this was removed in 1983. The porch remains lying in the scrub a few metres from the hut. It was restored in 2015 by Max Dorflinger.
