Bookings are required all year. Book Atiwhakatu Hut online.

A $10 service fee applies to phone and in-person booking. This is a limited service – book online first. An in-person booking is dependent on there being space available.

Your hut booking is for any bunk bed, not for a specific bunk bed – select your bunk bed on arrival.

Atiwhakatu Hut is within easy reach of Mt Holdsworth Road end approximately 15 minutes drive from Masterton. Turn off State Highway 2 onto Norfolk Road, 2 km south of Masterton. This is signposted and there is a timber processing plant on the corner. Follow Norfolk Road for about 15 km to Mt Holdsworth Road end.

From the car park, follow the Atiwhakatu Track along Atiwhakatu Stream. There is a high, narrow wire swing bridge with a one person at a time restriction, as well as a section of track that crosses a slip where some scrambling is needed. There are also some steep drop-offs beside the track.
