Kemi & Niko - Mini Hut Kotepato Hut

Kotepato Hut
Waioeka Conservation Area, Bay of Plenty

Built in the summer of 1968, by deer culler Tony Shaw and crew (pictured). Apparently he upgraded the standard NZFS 6-bunk design by adding hinges on the centre bunks so the bottom bunks could be used as benches.
All bunks are now fixed after a spruce up (including an added veranda) by local tramping club, Nga Tapuwae o Taneatua, that saved the hut from removal by DOC. The hut continues to be enjoyed by Ōpōtiki locals and visitors from a far.  

Our Mini Hut captures the hut in steel and reclaimed wood, in its original form with the moss green paint job.
