Built in March, 1964, by NZFS's Ray Forsyth, D. Green & W. Johnson. A small porch was added over the door in 2002. The hut is essentially looked after by 'Frank & Honora', who have added some personal touches; you can play petanque on the lawn. In 2021, DOC replaced the toilet door & lead head nails on the hut roof with hex screws. They cleared the helipad, increasing its size back to the original dimensions (doubling what it was). DOC have continued cutting, poisoning & marking the route from the bushline at the top of the NZFS track, right to the hut. Frank King gave the phone a good clean in early 2022 & Callum Margetts restrung the guitar in April. Edit Hut
