A night at Te Rereatukahia Hut

Overnight Adventure to Te Rereatukahia Hut. Starting from Hot Springs Road, this track takes you on a gradual climb into the heart of the Kaimai Ranges. The first section follows a well-formed path through regenerating forest before leading into beautiful stands of mature native bush, alive with birdsong. Expect some steady uphill stretches, stream crossings, and rooty sections underfoot as you make your way higher. Along the ridgelines you’ll be rewarded with glimpses across the Bay of Plenty and into the Waikato before reaching the 12-bunk Te Rereatukahia Hut.Spending the night here is a true backcountry experience — basic but comfortable, with the chance to share the hut with other walkers and enjoy the serenity of being immersed in nature.
