The Memorial Hut Lodge was erected in 1950 in honour of Auckland Tramping Club members who gave their lives during World War 2.
The Hut has been upgraded over the years and provides warm and comfortable accommodation at Iwikau Village, Mt Ruapehu.
The Lodge ownership was transferred on September 1 2018 to the Central Plateau Schools Alpine Charitable Trust (formed by five local schools) to ensure this asset's history and potential for accessing its amazing environment is preserved for generations to come.
