Notes
Built in 1916 by Rodolph Wigley for the NZ Tourist Bureau. It was maintained by NZFS carpenters in 1977 to a high standard. Prior to this, the hut was almost at a stage of being unusable. The hut had two open fires but both have been removed & one wood burner has been installed. Around 2007, DOC restored the hut back to its original state. Edit Hut

Nice hut let down by lack of insect screens and an over abundance of sandflies
