Notes
Built in 1995 by DOC, it is the third of three 'Central Te Hoe' huts in this vicinity. It replaced 'Central Te Hoe No. 2'. One hut bagger suggests this hut was built in 1985, as they recall visiting it as a near new hut in January, 1986, adding it replaced the old slab totara malthoid constructed hut ('Central Te Hoe Hut #2') that was near the current site, & which they visited in early 1983.

No 3 hut was there when I visited in August 1985 so the notes info of 1995 built must be a typo.
Really nice, large hut on the Te Pua-a-Tāne Circuit. It even had solar lights set up, but they only worked when the sun was out! See more at https://youtu.be/eTFA2PcXdn0.
