Notes
Built by Otamatapaio Station, which was originally part of the large Omarama Station, which ran from the Ahuriri River to the Otematapaio River. Many websites name the hut as 'Otematapaio Station Hut', but to the local owners, musterers & fencers, it has always been known as ‘Pink Hut’. In 2005, DOC extensively renovated the hut interior, including full ply lining, new bunks, a stainless bench, a ply table, benches, & aluminium window frames. In 2006 they installed a wood burner.

great small 4 bunk hut with an awesome fire place, if you can carry fire wood then that would be ideal for yourself

Access is via Backyards Rd. There's a carpark for 2WD vehicles up the road and you can drive a further 5km to the 4WD carpark near the footbridge over the Otamatapaio River. From here it's 10km further to the hut.
