Notes
It is a NZFS SF70 designed hut, built in May, 1961, by G. Coombs & R. Osman of Reefton (according to the inscription on the interior cross beam). Although a six-bunk design, it only has only four bunks, with a gun rack & bench filling the space between the bunks. The hut has received extensive maintenance by both volunteers & DOC in the past 6 years, including window replacement & repairs, sealing of the chimney flashing, new fire surround, vegetation clearance, exterior painting, & replacement of lead-head nails. Mid December, 2024, Michal Klajban & co from the CTC recut & repermolatted part of the track. Edit Hut

Excellent hut in perfect order. Lots of weeds on the valley flats.

We gave the track a decent trim and about 100 new permolat markers. It still needs a lot of work, especially the 1.5 km long section after Gilchrist Creek towards the hut
