Reviews of Pahautea Hut

Quite an effort to get to but worth the strain. Had really cloudy weather so couldn't see a thing but I'm sure there's quite a brow view from up there. Camped in the campsites as hut was fully booked. Tip camp in the furthest site from the hut, far quieter there.

Stunning view at the hut. Took roughly four and a half hours to reach following the Ruapene and Tirohaunga tracks from Grey road carpark. The walk back along Mahaukura Track took roughly five hours. Would definitely recommend this loop as in reverse order you will face a much more formidable incline up the mountain peaks towards the hut.

This is a great hut. Spacious, a good amount of seating, tables and bench space. Very grateful for the running water up there! It is a tad bit cold when the weather turns, but that’s what you pack for. Really liked the information set into the tables and around the hut, gives you a better feel of the history of the place. The views are really stunning from the deck and the helipad. The toilets are really great in comparison to what you get elsewhere! (Be kind and leave your unused toilet rolls for those coming up, some of us forget little things like that!) I definitely recommend a trip up to the Pahautea Hut and at least an overnight stay. P.S. $5 a night is a steal to stay somewhere as scenic as this! (Just make sure you book ahead of time!)

Campsite are wicked. Just a beautiful forest up there

Fantastic hut on the remote mountain. Works well when numbers are low, please book ahead via DOC website. $5 per night is very cheap. Helps maintain the hut!

Pretty decent hut. Water access and plenty of room to move around. The only complaint I would have is that there is now fireplace, which might pose an issue for trampers during cold winter days, where it starts snowing like it did for us.

Amazing hut! There are nice campsites around too. My only complaint is there is no heater. Take plenty of warm clothing. Seems like a weird oversight for such an amazing, new hut. Thanks DOC for building and maintaining this hut!

Incredible hut, great views. To get there, be preparoed for pleanty of mud, as you won't be able to avoid it at all times of year. If you are planning to stay overnight, there isn't a fireplace at the hut so take lots of warm gear during winter also!

Only four stars because there are no heater and I really don't understand why!? You're at 900m high.. Apart from that great Hut, unfortunately the weather was absolutely horrendous so can't say about the view but must be really nice on a clear day. The paths to get there are extremely muddy but it's worth the effort.
