Hut details
Located in the mid eastern
Ruahine Forest Park, Sunrise Hut is situated on the tops of the Ruahine Range.
This track is one of the most popular in the park. Sited in a tussock basin
beside the bush edge at 1280m, the hut offers excellent views across the Hawke’s
Bay.
The original hut was
constructed in 1983 by NZFS. It was upgraded in 2005. This is a large hut that
is a popular recreational destination for day trips or weekend visits. The hut
is heated by a woodburner with a double burner gas stove top. It is a popular,
easy walk for many family groups. In winter, there is generally snow around the
hut.
Getting there
North Block Road is
approximately 100 km from Napier. Follow State Highway 50 for 66 km and turn
right into Wakarara Road. After 20 km, turn left into North Block Road. The
start of Sunrise Tracks starts at the road end.
The last 4 km of this road
is through private farmland. Please don’t disturb stock and leave gates as you
found them.
