About this hut

Stream water supply
Long drop style toilet

The bivouac was built in 1963 by the NZ Forest Service and is situated at 900 metres above sea level in a clearing at the base of Dicks Spur. The site has adequate camping space surrounding the bivouac and is an ideal location for a small hunting or tramping party. Originally this area was cleared by the turn of the last century for pastoral farming, but has since reverted to manuka and kanuka. Although relatively sheltered it can experience strong north-westerly winds and snow during winter.
