The Waiotauru Hut was built in 2019 by the Akatarawa Recreational Access Committee (ARAC) to replace the derelict older Waiotauru Hut. It sits on the concrete foundation pad of the old hut. ARAC are a 4WD club who have a management agreement with DOC for "Odlins Road" from Akatarawa Saddle (called "Waiotauru Road" on topomaps) & Waiotauru Track. The hut has two tables, a wooden topped cooking bench, some chairs, a wood stove & there is insulation in the walls. There is no signage. As of December, 2021, there were two unlined foam mattresses.
