About this hut

Diane’s Hut was built by the Tressider family in memory of their daughter Diane Tressider, who frequently tramped in the area. The hut is located 20m off Koau Stream at an altitude of 650m. Diane’s Hut is ideally situated for a day trip, or as part of a circuit exploring the northern park.

In April 2023 Dianes Hut was renovated by Backcountry Trust volunteers. Paint was provided free of charge by Dulux.
