Built in the early 1960s this hut is a comfortable base for many hunting, fishing and tramping opportunities. It also provides a stopover point for access into the more remote western areas of the Kaweka Forest Park. At 540 metres altitude, this hut is positioned on a Ngaruroro River terrace. The river is an important recreation and natural resource within the park. Visitors are advised to take care, as the river can rise rapidly at times of high rainfall.
