Notes
Building began in Feb., 1927, & was completed in 1928. It was built by the Mt Balloon Scenic Reserve Board to encourage outdoor recreation in the area. In 1977, the then NZFS built a replica 12-bunk hut on the site keeping to the same basic design. It was renovated during April, 2013, with the help of the Nelson Tramping Club. Roofing iron was removed, repainted, re-papered & then replaced. Only the corrugated iron & some of the tin (walls) is from the original hut. Edit Hut

Awesome round trip via Flora Saddle to Flora hut and then up over the ridge to Mt Arthur Hut and back to Flora carpark with Ad.
