A two-bunk design, built in 1968. It is unique in having a mini coal range that provides efficient cooking & heating. The biv was repainted & new mattresses provided in 2004. In 2021, DOC undertook some minor maintenance & site clearance. They extended the fire hearth, sanded & painted the windowsill & door, removed all the lead-head nails & replaced them with tech screws, replaced the lead-flashed ridging, placed a new sheet of iron over the flue section of the roof, a rubber boot around the flue, covering it with a kea proof collar, & they repaired the flue cowling.
