About Te Rereatukahia Hut Track
Rereatukahia Hut can be reached from either Hot Springs Road carpark (5.2 km), which is the easiest access to the hut via the well-formed track—allow about 3 hours, or from Wharawhara Road (8.8km) which has a well-marked and easy to follow track, but be prepared for a steep climb and wet feet crossing the stream. The tracks don't link together, so arrange transport if you intend to walk a different way out than you came in.
