Oronui hut is located just above where the Oronui gorge finishes. The river forks, with shingle beds leading north, west and south. Oronui hut is on a terrace 30m above the river between the sth and west fork. Quite a steep, cruel climb for the end of the day, but a good thing considering how many valley-floor huts have been swept away in the Raukumaras. Thankfully there’s tank water so trips back to the river are not required.

6 bunk, 'Standard Hut'
