I've been to all the huts 'cept 5 in The Ruahines, and don't recognise it, so its either one of those 5, or it's close to farmland and has been built privately.
Thats Daphne up the Tuki

I am sure it's not a private hut....we were on the tops and bailed out via this hut due to bad weather and from memory the road end was about 3 hours from this hut......
Yeah you probably came down from HowlettsQuote:

Aaaah, dolt me. OP says 85, 86.
Could it have in any way been private back the? That original front door has that recycled/repurposed look about it.
Obviously a popular tramping club hut.
Cheers...it's all coming back to me now....Happy Daze, Awatere, up the big slip to Longview then out via Howletts and Daphne...goodtimes !
Been to Daphne hut...but not that hut. I see on the hut bagger web site a photo of that A frame beside the standard S70 hut that I remember. The A frame must have been constructed post 1976 ish.
Daphne Hut in the upper Tuki Tuki River.
Not a DOC hut, but it is in the Ruahine Forest Park. Built and maintained by the Lions Club.
