Built by the Tararua Tramping Club, it was opened on 7 November, 1954. It was the third Dobsons hut in this area, the previous 2 huts were located a few hundred yards west along a ridge. Dobsons Hut No. 3, was dismantled by the NZ Army, & flown out by DOC in July, 1994 (the hut suffered from vandalism). The concrete fireplace remains in-situ. Edit Hut
