About this hut

The old Heritage Lodge burned down in 2005. Thanks to a generous contribution from the family of the late Alice Nash, who grew up in the local vicinity and often visited the Oroua and Rangiwahia areas with her children, and to the hard work of the NZDA Manawatu branch, this hut was rebuilt in 2007 for all to enjoy.
