Notes
Built by DOC in 2008, immediately next to the old Levin Waiopehu Tramping Club hut site, & with any luck, far enough away from the slip. Heating is via a potbelly & there are campsites on the gravel river terrace below the hut. In late 2021, somebody shot holes in the roof, causing significant leaking & damage to the internal linings. In Dec., 2021, a group of volunteers led by Jean Gorman, replaced 13 of the 20 roofing sheets, swept the chimney, completed some external & interior painting, & deck work, & they cleared vegetation from around the hut. March, 2022, saw Jean & 3 others complete the painting. Edit Hut

Since it's December 2021 repaint and re-roof, it looks like a brand new hut!
