This hut is adjacent Kiwi Flat on the Waitaha River. It is on a low terrace on the the TR of the Whirling Water tributary of the Waitaha River about 500m above the confluence.

The Morgan Gorge, the ultimate challenge for kayakers, starts at the bottom of Kiwi Flat. This gorge is wild & looks like a black slot in the rocks from a distance. There are plans for a "run of river" hydro power scheme afoot which would take water from the Morgan Gorge.
