Escape to Te Awa Hut, a secluded, self-service bush hut set beside a clear-flowing river in the Pakihi. Wake to birdsong, enjoy total peace with no cell coverage (but Starlink Wi-Fi if needed), and slow right down in nature.

Ideal for hikers, cyclists, hunters and anyone craving quiet, dark skies and time outdoors. Close to popular trails including the Motu.

The space
DOC-hut inspired but more comfortable, Te Awa Hut has hot water, power, Wi-Fi and fridges.

Enjoy:
• Your own personal room
•. Indoor & outdoor fires
• A 4-person sauna
• Brand new 150mm DOC-style mattresses (PVC covered)
• Swimming in crystal-clear river holes, fishing, hiking, biking and stargazing

Guests must bring their own bedding, pillows, towels and blankets

Guest access
Access via 4WD only across the Pakihi River ford, or a 700m walk over the swing bridge from the Pakihi Hut carpark.
A deep swimming hole sits just downstream of the ford.

Other things to note
This is an unserviced hut, priced accordingly.
Guests are expected to clean up, wash dishes, vacuum/mop if needed, and take all rubbish and food scraps with them.

If you love simple comfort, wild places and doing your own thing — this one’s for you.
