Built in 1951 by Din Collings & co., it was an old hut on the LHS Puffer Track into the Tauheranikau Valley. It was on the true left of Smiths Creek, about 5 minutes walk from main track & 20 minutes before Tauherenikau Hut. There was no defined track & it was not easy to locate. It was pretty derelict in 1968 & at that time, not many people knew of its existence. The coordinates shown are fairly approximate, but should be within +/-500m. Edit Hut
