Built in 2004 by James Coubrough & co. as a joint project between the NZDA & DOC. It was officially opened on 6 August, 2005. It replaces 'Roaring Stag Lodge / Hut (old)'. Edit Hut
Great hut but watch out on the bridge. The bridge is not in great repair (Jan 24) and my son slipped, gashing his leg on exposed wire. It required air extraction and stitches at hospital. Great work from DOC and emergency services to get us out. Thank you. More maintenance budget needed, though.
