Suggestion of huts with nice day hikes?

Hei, we are a couple with a baby coming to NZ from mid November to mid December. We are still adapting to trekking with a baby and we are not sure if we will be able to go for multi-day trekks longer then 3 days. Walking to a hut and doing day trips from there is sounding like a more feasible idea. Does someone has some recommendations for huts positioned near nice day hikes? So far I was thinking of: - Aspiring hut from where there are many day trips. Though Im a bit unsure if those will be doable in mid November/mid December. - Young hut in Gillespie pass and day trip to Cruciable lake - Routeburn hut in the Routeburn trekk and day tripp to Harris Saddle and/or Conical Hill Any more suggestions or hits about the ones mentioned? All the help is welcome as this is our first time traveling to NZ =D Cheers
