Te Rereatukahia Hut is maintained by the Kaimai Ridgeway Trust volunteers for the benefit of all.

Play your part - pay your hut fees and keep the hut and surrounding area clean, tidy and free of rubbish.
There is space to camp outside the hut. If you do camp, Kaimai Ridgeway Trust would be grateful if you made a donation towards their maintenance costs.
