Puketutu Hut

One of the old North - South Track Huts. This is a great little hut sitting on the top of the main Kaimai Range. The hut has 2 good bunks and 2 good mattresses, along with a third, not so good, mattress to go on a not so good bunk.

A new woodburner has been installed. The hut has a bit of mold on the interior with a little bit of rot in some of the timber. The clearing round the hut would be suitable for maybe one tent. The wind over the ranges would make tenting a bit dodgy at the Heli Landing.

An old marked route climbs the Kaimai Range directly behind the hut, making it a good base to explore the tops or for a route-type crossing to Kauraitatahi Hut - for the more adventurous. Though this is apparently an overgrown and muddy track.
