  • An overnight trip to Oamaru Hut in the Kaimanawa Forest park. I follow the route over Poronui Station and cross the Mohaka River to get to Oamaru Hut.
    Oamaru Hut is a typical hunting hut located in a great spot for Sika Deer. Join me on my solo overnight wild camp in a New Zealand hunter's hut.

    Hi Pete, a good video to introduce others to the walk across Poronui Stn.
    The stream that you cross by the large fallen tree is the Kaipo, and the stream directly below the hut is the Omarau, with both converging into the Mohaka further downstream.

      You're not the first to point out my error about me naming the rivers. I should have had a better look at the map!! That trip you spoke about looks great. I had planned a similar one over the summer, but work got in the way. Maybe next year.

    Thanks for taking us there Pete, never been. Likely busy now with the roar.

      Yep, on the way out I passed 12 or so hunters walking in. It is a popular spot. I'm pretty pleased to have been to a hut that you haven't. Cant be many of those!

    Nice hut. Looks really hot! The morning after looked pleasant though. Bloody flies, drive me mad too, but at least the toilet didn't attract them. Enjoyed this one, does look like a nice pleasant walk, and that fallen tree is one cool way to cross a stream.

      The tree is part of the track with orange triangles pointing across it, which is different. Yep, hot. But a nice, easy walk.

    Looks like a cruisy trip from the topo, good one for lazy weekend some time or to go for winter hike.

      Yep, nice and easy, almost no hills. The hut would be very comfortable on a winter trip.
