Built by the NZFS in 1967 as a S70 6-bunk design with an open fire & an added alcove area at one end. Designated for removal by DOC in 2004, strong public opposition saw the hut saved. Late Nov., 2023, saw a team of BCT builders & volunteers replace the piles. Mid Jan., 2024, saw DOC remove the large trees from the front of the hut, allowing more light in, followed by 6 volunteers, Garth Hazel, John Hutt & Markus Milne, & builders Matt Hewat, Phil Ellis & Max Stenhouse-Burgess, who completely refit the interior, increasing bunk numbers to 10. They repainted the hut, installed new windows, replaced the open fire with a woodburner, & built a woodshed. The latter works was thanks to a generous bequest by the Henwood family of Dunedin, in honour of their late mother. Edit Hut
