A standard 18-bunk hut in the Tararua Forest Park, Kapiti region.

Waiopehu Hut is at the bushline, 960 m above sea level. On clear days, there are good views across the plains and east to the Tararua high peaks.

The first Waiopehu Hut was built by the Levin Waiopehu Tramping Club in 1928. In 1936, a severe storm destroyed the hut so a second hut was built and officially opened on 17 May 1947. In March 2002,DOC acquired 100 ha of private land along Waiopehu Ridge, including much of the track and hut site. On 11 May 2002, a third hut was opened at a new site about 1 km further up the ridge.
