The Kauritataihi Hut is in the central part of the Kaimai Mamaku Conservation Park, about 1.5 hours south from the junction of Thompsons Track and the North South Track. A marked and signposted track leaves the North South track and leads to the hut.
The track to this hut should only be attempted by experienced trampers. There is a section which requires the use of a rope to assist climbing.
