Though no option for anything smaller than the Squirrel from the Waipakihi Rd end? This Govt is allowing past public access that once was to be locked out unless you pay $$$ - go figure. And according to media statements online because of 'flytipping' in the area? Really. Also comments from the mods on the Huts and Backcountry FB suggest we are being racist about the Urewera's hut removal and things will get better though Tuhoe are quoted they wish to remove 'Western influence' from the park? All such a pity really - the downhill slide.

Yeh; I had a look the other day and thought; has to be a mistake.
$2,000 to the Waipakihi hut, and I think it was $1800 to the Thunderbolt pad. Seems very high, for a short hop. I haven’t had a look on a map, to compare with their other distances. But looks like a decent Koha is going elsewhere, which I suppose is to be expected. If it was my land I’d be wanting a cut of the action.
