Sutherlands hut can be accessed Haurangi road.

Haurangi Road to Waikuku Lodge, Sutherlands Hut and the Pigs Ridge - Old Mill Tracks:

• From Ruakokoputuna Road turnoff, beware – this is a low maintained gravel road that becomes narrow and winding after the first 2 kms. At the 6 km mark access gets difficult, and is only possible by 4WD past Waikuku Lodge due to wash outs, slips, rutted surfaces, and further road narrowing. It can be very slippery, deeply pitted and full of water. Drive with care – this is a remote location with few residents and limited phone or internet coverage.
