- Place: Ruahine Forest Park
- Facilities: Waikamaka Hut sits on a terrace at the confluence of the east and south branches of the Waikamaka River in Ruahine Forest Park.

It offers basic comforts—mattresses, heating and untreated tap water—yet demands careful river navigation and self‑reliant access.
