Notes
Built between April & June, 1974, by Mario Geremia & Hans Kolinko of the NZFS to replace the Manawatu Tramping Club's 1932-built hut of the same name [see ‘Te Matawai Hut (old)']. There is cellphone reception on the chopper pad clearing, spot height 900, 100m west of the hut. Late January, 2023, saw 6 ‘Greater Wellington Backcountry Network’ (GWBN) volunteers, led by Emma Gregg, repaint the interior, exterior, & roof, & complete other maintenance jobs. Edit Hut
