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.

Thanks to Rotorua tramping club for cleaning up this hut. Had to leave the bag if rubbish they had collected as too much for us to carry out also. Hope someone choppers in soon so can finally be removed. Please pack out what u pack in so the rest of us don't have to clean up your crap!
