Built in 1962 by the NZFS. It is in the Murchison Mountains but outside of the 'specially protected area'. January, 2023, saw a team from the NZAC renovate the hut. They upgraded all the foundations with anchor piles to replace the old pipe foundations, strengthened the structure with extra timber & ply bracing, & re-clad the hut in colour steel. This is the second time the hut has been re-clad & this renovation takes it back to it’s original corrugated iron cladding. Edit Hut
