Notes
Built in 1963 by the NZFS as a two person 'dog box' biv. It has been repainted, has a toilet & a roof-fed water tank. It is maintained by the 'exNZFS' group of volunteers. In January, 2022, Grant Timlin & Steve Algar repainted the biv & put a "skirt" around the bottom to prevent the moisture issues in the flooring.

Very cute little biv, sheltered spot and great views of the Tararuas. Enough space for a couple of tents as well

Nice biv, just bit damp, so I had to dry out matresses and leave doors open for quite long time, needs better ventilation.
