Sir Robert Hut
Located in Kokatahi River - Whitcombe River area in the West Coast region, Sir Robert is a standard NZFS S81 four-bunk design built in 1963. It is located in the Kokatahi River – Whitcombe River area in the West Coast of New Zealand. In 1983 NZFS lined the hut & flew-in a toilet constructed from materials salvaged from the dismantled Lower Toaroha & Lower Kokatahi huts. The hut houses 4 people on single bunk beds.
In March 2018, Anderson Helicopters flew in volunteers, Alan Jemison, James Clark and Kerry Millard who worked many hours to complete the painting of the hut. The Back Country Trust/ High-Country Consortium funded and facilitated this project.

Orange can radiate warmth and energy and is quite stimulating and thought provoking. Orange is available in many shades and tones. Burnt orange looks great in formal areas and the lighter orange shades of apricot or peach work beautifully in bedrooms and living spaces.
