Hike to Maketawa Hut, Egmont National Park, New Zealand
A good half day tramp, Maketawa Hut offers fantastic views of the mountain. The low level option through montane forest crosses rivers and climbs ladders before arriving at the hut. To return, head uphill to join the Translator Road then descend the road back to the visitor centre.
It is possible to tramp from Maketawa Hut to Stratford Mountain House at East Egmont/Pōpō. This is a 3 hr 30 min tramp (one way) from the hut, with steep sections and many stream crossings.
Want to stay the night? This is a good introduction to staying overnight in a backcountry hut. The 16 bunk hut has a woodburner, water and a toilet.
Backcountry hut tickets or passes are required for all overnight stays in huts.
