Notes
Extensively overhauled by Dannevirke hapu (volunteers) led by Cherry Peeti-Tapurau over multiple weekends in 2020 & 2021, including the addition of two new bunks, a new window, a bench seat, wood burner, retaining wall, water tank, interior & exterior painting, & beautiful barge boards. The Maori name translates as ‘realm of the leatherwood’ (very fitting for the ridges of the southern Ruahine Range). As of Jan., 2024, there are apparently only 2 mattresses, with the remainder repotedly having been stolen. Edit Hut
