About this place
Grass clearings and an old fence are a legacy of days gone by when this section was highly modified by burning and farming.
The route
This walk links Hot Springs Road with Te Rereatukahia Hut and the Te Rereatukahia Track. Since the disestablishment of part of the loop track, the easiest route to Te Rereatukahia Hut is from the end of Hot Springs Road. Follow the well-formed Tuahu East track at the end of the car park to the Tuahu Saddle, then take the North South track northwards to reach the hut. It takes approximately 3 hours to reach the hut.
