This unusual hut sits on the southern Ruahine range, in a clearing among the vast unbroken expanse of leatherwood that is the feature here.  It can be reached by vehicle from the Takapari road and by the looks of it, they have trashed it.  The quickest way on foot is to grunt up the hill from the Tamaki river.

Sleeps: About four on a skinny platform.  There was a wire bunk (no mattress) here in 2002 but I think it had gone by 2005.

Heating: None.

Camping: Some camping around the hut.
