The new Maungahuka on a great day.  Perched on the tops of main Tararua range. Sleeps: 10-12 on 2 bench bunks Heating: None, though it is double glazed. Camping:  Some tops camping, though of course you'd want weather like this to really enjoy it.

This hut was replaced in 2006.  On a good day there are wonderful views of the Otaki and Waiohine catchments, while on a usual day this hut can feel a long way away from civilization.  A place that has seen its fair share of epics.
