Located in Whirinaki Te Pua-a-Tāne Conservation Park in the East Coast region
This standard nine-bunk hut is a popular overnight trip from Whirinaki or as part of a circuit including Skips Hut (Whangatawhia) and Rogers Hut (Te Wairoa). A destination for hunters, where the forest changes from podocarp to beech forest.

Before you go, buy 1 Standard Hut Ticket (blue for adults, yellow for youth) for each night's stay. Put this in the honesty box at the hut. Or buy a Backcountry Hut Pass that gives unlimited use at most Standard and Serviced huts for a 6 or 12 month period.
