Nichols Hut
Tararua Forest Park
Nichols hut - a pleasant, recently renovated 6-bunk hut in the mid Tararuas. It lacks the coast views of Andersons, but has great views down the Waiohine valley towards the Wairarapa. It also receives a lot less traffic than Andersons - mainly fly-in hunters and Te Araroa walkers.
