3289 - Waitawheta Hut

This weekend trip to Waitawheta Hut is the second in a trio of huts we will visit between February and May 2027. The others are to Pahautea Hut on Mount Pirongia (Trip 3279) and Crosbies Hut in Coromandel Forest Park (Trip 3291). If you want to do some hut-bagging here’s your chance. 

As with the other two tramps, the actual route/s involved will be determined once the group dynamics are sorted. There will be a simple “in and out” to the hut via the easy (and popular)  Waitawheta River route, while fitter participants may wish to get to the hut via the other tracks on offer. 

Being a popular hut, it is often booked out well in advance, so if you want to come along you will need to reserve a bunk (or more) as soon as possible.  You need to make a booking on the DOC website for the night of Saturday 3 April.( As of early October, you cannot book until the booking system allows you to do so.)
