A snug 18-bunk hut above Waitonga Falls with views over the southern plains.
A side track from the Waitonga Falls route climbs through beech forest to Blyth Hut on a shelf below Ruapehu’s southern slopes. A good first overnighter and a quiet base for the Mangaehuehu section of the Round the Mountain Track.
