Waipopo or Waipopo Huts is a bach community[3] in the Timaru district and Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island. Waipopo is on the southern side of the Ōpihi River mouth, 11.5 kilometres southeast of Temuka and 17.3 northeast of Timaru by road.[4]
The huts are on land owned by the Waipopo Huts Māori Reserve Trust, who provided a 100-year lease of the land which expired in 2003. Twenty-seven leaseholders declined to sign a new lease.[5] The Trust subsequently charged rent for the land at higher prices.[6]
