At some point the hut has been extensively renovated with the addition of extra windows & a large covered deck area. See David Harrington's, April, 1980 photo for comparison. Edit Hut
Another nice 6 bunk beds in the Kawekas. Well maintained, not that much visited. The track to the Ngaawapurua hut is not maintained anymore (private land) but easy going and to follow. There is no more bridge to cross the Ngaruroro. 2,5h to Manson hut and 3h to Manson biv.
