The second hut on the site, it was built in 1968 by Bonk Scotney. The hut came into DOC ownership in the early 2000's when the owner could no longer manage it. It has lots of crockery. Take your own candles. Booking required all year. Read some history at https://orongorongo.atavist.com/boarinn Edit Hut
This hut apparently had a makeover, as it used to be not the greatest. However, it was apparently nicer this time (though I haven't been before). Still, it was quite small and not the brightest hut in terms of colours.
