- Central Whirinaki Hut is the gateway to Whirinaki te pua-a-tane conservation park and all it has to offer. From the river road carpark south of Minginui the 17km long track follows the Whirinaki river upstream, passing by a number of track junctions and other interesting things to see. After 4-6 hours you'll reach the serviced 25 bunk hut on the edge of a large clearing next to the river. Its the most popular hut in the forest park and has everything it needs to make you feel comfortable after long day of tramping. The ancient podocarp forest is spectacular and full of bird life. You'll also come across a few Whio (blue duck) pairs along the river, which are some of New Zealand's rarest and most endangered birds. Overall Central Whirinaki Hut is functional, spacious and popular, and is definitely worth a visit.

"Huts of New Zealand" is a new video series I'm creating, in which I travel to backcountry huts all around NZ to record, review and rate my experiences to give you a better idea of what to expect when you go hiking around our beautiful country.
