Description

This is a standard ten-bunk hut in the Ruahine Forest Park in Manawatu. This hut sits in a clearing beside the Oroua River. Fees apply. Bookings not required - first come, first served. Facilities include heating, mattresses, non-flush toilets and water from a stream. Iron Gate Hut is a 45 hour walk from Petersons Roadend, off Table Flat Road in the Oroua Valley. Before you go, buy 1 Standard Hut Ticket (blue for adults, yellow for youth) for each night's stay. Put this in the honesty box at the hut. Or buy a Backcountry Hut Pass that gives unlimited use at most Standard and Serviced huts for a 6 or 12-month period.
