Built in 1958 by the NZ Forest Service (NZFS), it was NZFS #676. It was the oldest hut in the park & is a great example of the classic NZFS 2-person hunters shelter. It was removed on 28 March, 2022, & relocated to North Whetu, where it is now known as 'North Whetu Biv'. In April, 2024, 'Studholme Saddle Hut' was relocated to this, the former biv site; see 'Studholme Saddle Hut (relocated)' for details. Edit Hut
I was the lucky last to stay in this bivvy at its Studholme site and the first to stay in it at its North Whetu site. I hope you all enjoy your stay and appreciate the Kawekas.
