Waiotukapiti Hut is wonderful. An old slab-built hut, rough native timber - hand hewn – on the inside. But later clad in standard corrugated iron to make it weather, rat and flyproof. A great compromise to preserve a unique historic structure, whilst making it robust and practical. It sleeps 6 in 2 stacks of 3 bunks, has tank water and a sink, and a good open fire which does not smoke in the usual way.

Accessible only by the river (or a long unmaintained ridgeline slog from Waikaremoana) - this is an easy place to get stuck after rain.
