The Waiheke River is a river of the West Coast Region of New Zealand 's South Island . It flows west from its origins on Mount Barron in the Southern Alps to reach the Ahaura River ,[1] which it forms where it joins the Tūtaekurī River, 20 kilometres northwest of Lake Sumner .
The Waiheke River flows down a long, low valley and is predominantly a shingle bed river flowing through beech forest with a margin of tussock grass along the banks. It can be kayaked , except during summer droughts.[2]
A pack-track to Canterbury used to go through Amuri Pass into the Doubtful River Valley.[2] It was improved by John Rochfort in 1863.[3] A route over the 993 m (3,258 ft ) Amuri Pass remains in use.[4] [5] Slaty Creek Hut has 4 beds, was built in 1952 by deer cullers and is now used by recreational hunters, trampers and climbers.[6]
