If you love classic New Zealand backcountry huts as much as we do, then you should check out Kemi Niko & Co. These are unique, expertly crafted and just beautiful. While you're at it, make sure you check out their website too as gives a great insight into Kemi Niko's backstory/lifestyle and how this iconic little family business came to be. We were lucky enough to get our hands on this limited edition Bealey Spur Mini Hut. I've lost count of how many times I've visited this hut over the years so having something tangible at home to trigger these memories is priceless. Thank you Kemi Niko & Co. ❤️🥾
