Mangatutu Fishing Hut

Mangatutu Fishing Hut is in the Pātoka farming district, and an hour from Napier in the Hawke’s Bay region.

Nestled on the banks of the Mangatutu River, our restored fishing hut offers a tranquil escape for those looking to disconnect and enjoy the beauty of nature. Known for its trout, the Mangatutu river is at your doorstep, providing the perfect base for a fishing adventure or a peaceful retreat.

Our property was deeply impacted by Cyclone Gabrielle and while the scars remain, we have worked hard to restore the hut and surrounding landscape.

The hut offers comfort and simplicity:

A king-sized bed inside the hut, complete with full linen.

A cosy one-bedroom cabin with a queen bed, complete with full linen.

Additional space inside the hut on the mezzanine floors for 5 people, with mattresses provided (bring your own sleeping bags and pillows). Children 10 years and under cannot sleep here for safety reasons.

You’ll enjoy the convenience of running hot and cold water, as well as solar power to keep everything running smoothly. Amenities include a flushing toilet, an indoor shower and an outdoor shower for that rustic touch. A BBQ is ready for your use and for evenings, gather around the outdoor fire pit (the fire pit cannot be used during fire bans).

*Bring your own bath towels, flannels, food supplies and deck chairs

Beyond the hut, you’re just 50 minutes from the Mangatutu Hot Springs in the stunning Kaweka Range, offering even more ways to explore and unwind during your stay.

This is a spot where the river sings, and the land tells its story. Guests are welcome to enjoy the river at their leisure.
