Makakoere Hut
Te Urewera
Located about half way up the Makakoere Stream this hut could easily be missed and I have heard stories of this happening. Valley floor is good gravel going most of the way up from Tawa, but just before the hut is a narrow section of large boulders. Watch for the orange triangle on the true right just beyond this, or carry a GPS. It comes in very handy.
