Salvation Hut History
Salvation Hut was built by volunteers from the New Zealand Deerstalkers Association (NZDA) in 1968. This association, consisting of hunters and outdoor enthusiasts, has constructed and maintained numerous huts across New Zealand, (see forgotten huts below), especially in remote and mountainous areas. The huts serve as shelters for hunters trampers and other outdoor adventurers exploring the backcountry.
