The original hut [see 'Ahuriri Base Hut (old)] was built by the NZFS in the 1958, whereas, this hut, built by the NZFS too, was built as a replacement in the early 1970's (despite what the sign on the door suggests). Edit Hut
Nice hut in a beautiful spot. Work have been done on the road in early 2025 went there with a 2WD without problem. Beautiful view of the valley and a nice swimming spot down to the river (around 400m from the hut)
