Waiharuru Hut

Oct 25th, 2022

We walked the Waikaremoana track in September with a group of 12 and stayed at this hut for our 3rd night. The hut was in good condition with a huge kitchen hut with fireplace, and separate sleeping hut/bunk room. There was some firewood when we arrived and we managed to keep a fire going all night which kept the kitchen hut very warm and cozy. The surrounding lake and land are gorgeous and we even heard a kiwi overnight. It was a long slog from Waipaoa the night before, but a great stop for the night!

Good place and nice facilities, however, my worst hut experience thanks to a group of boaties and fishermen that chose it for their gathering. Taking over the huts campfire area, and using the kitchen and dorm room, making lot's of noise (shouting, swearing, fireworks) until early hours of the morning, while people were trying to sleep. I would have called police but good luck with that in the middle of nowhere. I heard one person on that group was a local police officer.
