Notes
Originally, NZFS’s ‘Comet Hut’, it was removed mid February, 2024, by a team of wahine, led by Megan Dimozantos, who flat-packed it & relocated to this nearby location, where it was rebuilt, & open for public use in March, 2024. Edit Hut

The road into the Comet is great. I don't have a 4wheel drive. The track to the hut is pretty and interesting.

The new track starts maybe 200m pass the Komata summit. The track is well cut but steep at some place. The hut is awesome and it’s tough to believe that it used to be Comet hut. Good job by the Wāhine group. The toilet worth to have a look ;)
