From Rangi Saddle, a poled / marked route descends WSW towards Rangi Creek, becoming better defined as you descend. Once in the beech this si a marked, though rarely cut track.
Reaching Rangi Creek, head downriver in the gravel riverbed, crossing as required (small stream, ok in most conditions, but could flood in extreme rain). On reaching the main Kawhatau River, turn south up broad flats. The best travel is on the western bank. Waterfall Hut is hidden in the bosh on the eastern bank. A DOC triangle marks the start of the track to the hut.
