Stone Hut (Canterbury)

This historic hut is constructed of stone and corrugated iron, and located in Forest Creek. The first stone hut on the site was built in the 1880s, with a replacement in the 1900s. The current hut was built of stone in 1939. In 1967, an avalanche destroyed a part of the hut, and repairs were made in iron. Today, the hut is largely iron with the original stone chimney.

The hut was likely a boundary keeper's hut initially, and later a musterers' hut.

DOC warns: "There is avalanche risk at the hut site during winter and spring when there is more than 50cm of snow on the slope behind the hut."
