Notes
It was on the old main track between Lake Rotoroa & 'Speargrass Hut'. It was removed by DOC in the mid to late 1990's & relocated on the back of a truck down the Howard Valley to sit next to a farm house. It was likely removed when the track from Sabine Hut to 'Speargrass Hut' was re-aligned. The farmer reports the toilet is still at the original hut site, the hut is unlocked & there is an NZFS hut book in it that dates back to the 4 April, 1991. The hut is now located on private land. Permission to visit it must be obtained in advance. Edit Hut
