Well-equipped hut that (from the hut book) seems to be visited only ~20 times per year, mostly by hunters. Route down/up from Aokaparangi summit can be hard to spot, so pay attention for the dotted cairns then the hut tucked in on the left, just on the treeline.

The toilet was different. Not the usual cylinder. And it had a good fire-pit outside that we used to toast marshmallows...!
