An unacknowledged hut in the Tararua's. The 2nd hut on the site, replacing the earlier Kohler's Hut. The first hut was build in 1963 & the second about 1980. Stud & weatherboard construction with an iron roof. It is on the 900m contour, 50m off the north side of the southern track to Kapakapanui. Edit Hut

Not too bad nick, all things considered. I have corrected the location to E1781304 N5466244. It is not at the location marked on the NZTM maps. RobbieT's directions from 2019 are spot on, between the 880 and 900m contour.

Cute wee hut that's in good nick. Probably needs a new logbook + few pencils though as the old one is completely ruined.
