New Burn Hut sits in a clearing blasted from the leatherwood on a ridge between the Taramea stream and another unnamed tributary of the Mangahao.  It is double glazed, has an inside cloak/pack room and a bit of room to move. Sleeps: Around eight on bench bunks. Heating: None. Camping: If you like your dirt hacked from the leatherwood there ...

Another image of the old and rat infested Waiopehu Hut.  The new one is better in every way - but is further up the hill making those friday nights a real slog!

This hut was removed in 2002.

This hut was removed in 2003 due to the threat of a slip behind the hut.

A large hut located on the Western side of the 'Northern Crossing' (Ohau to Waingawa). Sleeps: Around twenty on benches. Heating: A potbelly, the high ceilings have been sealed though so it is a lot better than it was! Camping: Some on the helipad.

Sleeps: 16 or so on bench bunks. Heating: Potbelly. Camping: Campsites can be found in the bush, and there is excellent camping further up the Otaki.

Not marked on any maps but the name gives all the clue you need.  Not one to visit with rain in the forecast.... Sleeps: Four. Heating: I haven't been there for 6 years and thought it was an open fire but it looks like a chimney of a burner in the photo. Camping: Yes on the river bank.
