Nice view, nice hut. Doc changed the fireplace in May 2024. I came from Omarukokere Biv via pt 1247-1450. From the biv, I crossed the Ngaruroro River (thigh-deep) then made my way to Te Puke Hut (4h at a good pace). There's a steep rocky section (15 m high) around 1100 meters. The next day, I linked Te Puke to Mangatainoka Hut via the tops and the river (4 hours).
