Thread: Kaimanawa/Kaweka family options

Does anyone have any recommendations on huts/blocks for a bucket list family trip? Looking at flying in, and most likely a private block, between Oct and Feb
My thoughts are:
Somewhere scenic, with easy walks for non-hunting family members
Comfortable hut, the bigger the better (probably do an extended family invite)
Maybe a river for trout fishing
Open areas for hunting, in fairly easy country. Not too fussed on whether we shoot anything but always like seeing animals.
Feel free to PM!
Cheers

Oamaru?

Ngaawapurua,Oamaru, trout below the harkness hut, mangatutu hot springs drive in nice spot can drive down to river pakatutu road to rlpia

Golden Creek as another option, huts not huge though

Tauranga Taupo is another option. 1 double bunk,3 singles. Comfortable, warm and not too hard to get around. The river is great for swimming in warm weather

Oamaru, North Arm are great, need to book well ahead for spring, summer. Costs have increased considerably under the new regime that now controls these private blocks which are normally fully booked Oct- May. They don't get "rested." Look further afield if hut comfort isn't a priority during the warmer months, there are private blocks which don't get hammered outside the silly season.
