Opened on 9 November, 1991, by DOC & the Hutt Valley Tramping Club (HVTC), it sits on the site of the former, 1934 built, 'Whare-iti Biv'. This version of 'Waitewaewae Hut' is a successor to the 'Waitewaewae Hut (old)', which was located 100m upstream. The roof was replaced in early March, 2025, by Beyer Construction. The HVTC is planning to fully repaint the hut. The hut is managed by the Greater Wellington Backcountry Network. See https://gwbn.org.nz/our-huts/waitewaewae-hut/ Edit Hut
