An ex-musterer's hut, built in 1958 by Mt Arrowsmith Station. With the establishment of Hakatere CP, DOC have taken over management of the hut, refurbishing it. It's canvas bunks have been replaced with slats & DOC-style mattresses. It has a concrete floor & the walls are lined with a reflective material. It has a lovely big table. Late October, 2023, saw NZDA Ashburton branch volunteers replace the ridge capping & suntuff clear light. Edit Hut
