Hut Finder

Hut Finder shows availability for more than 400 New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC) huts, lodges and campsites, including the Great Walks. Tell Claude where and when you want to go and how many of you there are, and it checks every hut and campsite at once instead of one booking page at a time.

No account needed to:

• Find huts, lodges and campsites with space for your group on your dates, by region or island, with the weather forecast for huts.
• Check one hut or campsite night by night. Hut Finder checks DOC live when you ask about a single place.
• Plan a multi-night tramp, such as the Routeburn or the Abel Tasman Coast Track, and see whether every night works for your group.
• Search by name, region, island, track or size.

Sign in with your Hut Finder account to:

• See further ahead: 14 days on a free account, 12 months on Hut Finder Pro.
• Get emailed when a booked-out hut or campsite has space again, and create, list or cancel those alerts from Claude. Free accounts include one alert for fixed dates; Pro adds flexible dates, chosen weekdays, daily digests and whole-trip alerts for the Great Walks and other popular tracks.

Hut Finder doesn't take bookings: every result links straight to the DOC booking page. Search results may be cached, so ask about a specific hut for a live check before you book.
