Situated in the heart of the Whirinaki Forest Te Pua-a-Tāne, amongst magnificent podocarp forest, this hut makes for a stay pleasant. Enjoy a fantastic view over the valley and rising mist above the forest.
The hut contains nine bunks, a wood burning stove and a sink with running water outside at the end of the deck.
Mangamate Hut is a great place to spend the night with plenty of birdlife on hand to keep you entertained. At night, glow worms can be spotted in the bank along the track leading to Mangamate Hut. A large grassy clearing at the forks marks the former location of the hut.
