Due to the growing popularity of the Te Araroa Trail, March, 2023, saw DOC Motueka remove the fire & prepare the ground in front of the hut for a deck. Early April, 2023, saw a Jobs for Nature team, completely overhaul the hut. They increased the hut capacity from 6 to 8 bunks, re-roofed the hut, replaced the open fire with a new woodburner, installed 4 new windows, painted the exterior, & relocated the door to the front of the hut so it opens onto a newly-built covered deck.Location:

Not a bad wee hut, but the windows face into the hill so miss out on the view. we arrived for lunch in the sun after days of rain. Fortunately the river was only waste deep and though flowing fast, was clear.
