Sunrise Hut

Great hut, plenty of bunks and a wood fire. Easy track up and a beautiful sunrise. Bring ear plugs as the strong wind makes is VERY noisy at night.

Amazing Spot, Spend a night during Christmas Eve, Can spot 5 satellite moving during the clear night skies, and of course stargazing was at peak at 3 am, also perfect sunset and sunrise, perfect bird sound during a walk too.

Sunrise hut track is one of the most stunning and popular tracks in the Hawke’s bay. It’s one of well known spots for family and school trips for team building. Sunrise Hut is situated on the tops of the Ruahine Range

Apart from the 5km uphill slog what a magic place to stop. Definitely booking a couple of nights next time, the views are stunning!

An amazing cottage with great views. It is also worth going to the NW saddle from the cottage to be displayed on Mount Ruapehu. A small north of the cottage offers great views. It's two hours walking to the cottage. Take a small turn to see a triple hut down. It takes two-hour hiking to three hours from the parking lot to reach the cottage. There was snow when I arrived at the end of May and the atmosphere was cool. A wonderful place to watch the sunrise. It's a good idea to rise when there is daylight because the corridor does not contain many marks at first, it is easy to be lost. The way to the top is somewhat simple as soon as you find the road.

It takes 2-3hr hike from the carpark to get up to the hut. There was snow when I reach during end May and it was chilly. Great place to watch the sunrise. It is a good idea to hike up when there us daylight because the trail does not have many signs at the start, and it is easy to get lost. The way up is rather straightforward once you found the trailhead.

Excellent walk, spectacular views! Watch out for the weather, it can change quickly!!

A beautiful track up. Expect a workout since the track is pretty much up the whole way. The climb is absolutely worth it. An amazing hut. Highly recommend walking the ridge that goes behind the hut to the Armstrong memorial and a further climb up to look back out over to the hut and the steep valley between.

It is a good track but not as easy as it is advertised. It is a pretty strenuous uphill slog about 8.7kms. We did it in 2.5hrs. The return is nearly an hour shorter. The alpine plants and ferns are very pretty and scenery is lovely to photograph and you feel you are up in the clouds

A stunning hut with awesome views. Also worth heading up to the saddle NW of the hut for view to Mt Ruapehu. Small peak north of the hut gives great views also. It's a two hour walk up to the hut. Take a small detour to see triple-x hut at the bottom.
