Notes

Built by the NZFS in 1963 as a 4-bunk hut with an open fire. In 1975, the NZFS extended the hut, adding another room with 2-bunks & replacing the open fire with a wood burner. Edit Hut

Nice hut. NO tanked water at the hut. We drunk from the spring in front of the hut.

Met some hunters who provided us with some goods that they flew in via helicopter, pavlova and cream and strawberries and beer. The hut seems to serve as an overnight option for TA walkers.
