The Mt Holdsworth-Jumbo Circuit in Tararua Forest Park links three shared-occupancy huts: Atiwhakatu, Jumbo and Powell. DOC warns the track to Jumbo and Powell is above the bushline for some distance and exposed to strong wind, rain and freezing temperatures, so navigation skills may be needed.
Mt Holdsworth-Jumbo Circuit is booked through DOC's online booking system. When someone cancels, the bunk goes straight back on sale with no notice. We check DOC's booking system around the clock and alert you the moment one opens up for your dates.
