Can't be seen from the river, follow the 4WD track up to the hut found just before Darkey Jims Bush. Awesome spot with views up surrounding valleys and rivers. A few people in the intentions book mention being trapped here waiting for the Havelock to go down. A few potential campsites exist right outside the hut.

Probably the nicest hut in the Havelock Valley.
