This is the first hut up the Karamea River from the coast end. It takes about half a day to walk in from the road end if river levels are normal but becomes a mission if the river is high. On our last visit we struck abnormally low river levels and breezed in in about 3hrs. Despite the huts proximity to the roadend many visitors tend to fly in. The river is popular for fishing, hunting, kayaking & rafting.
