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', which is true to an extent. This is the second hut to have been built in the upper valley by Otamatapaio Station, the first being 'Otamatapaio Station Hut (old) ('Pink Hut)', 2km down valley, hence, why the local owners, musterers & fencers, referred to it 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, DOC installed a wood burner.
