After no maintenance for over 40 years, 2001 saw a DOC volunteer party install the water tank & painted the hut. The hut was overhauled by DOC in March, 2021, with a new roof, sky-light, tie-downs, stainless-steel bench tops, aluminium windows & flashings. DOC painted the interior & exterior, built a doorstep & installed a toilet. The track from the Waitaha River is maintained by Permolat volunteers. Edit Hut
