    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.

    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......

    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.

    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.
