Wainuiomata is home to many historic huts that were used to house workers or for recreation purposes.
Wainuiomata and its surrounding areas were once scattered with huts and cottages that offered shelter and accommodation in the bush and reserves. Some were originally built to house workers during the construction of multiple reservoir sites. Many of these huts have since been abandoned, fallen into disrepair, or been demolished, yet each carries a story from a time when Wainuiomata was far more remote than it is today.
Below are historical articles about huts in Wainuiomata, covering different types, purposes, and periods.
