Places to stay

There are four huts on the circuit, Mangatepopo, Ketetahi, Oturere and Waihohonu. Passes for these huts should be purchased before commencing the trip to avoid paying a higher price at the hut.

Camping is prohibited within 500 metres of the tracks. Campsites have been established near each of the huts on the circuit. Facilities at the huts can be used when camping.

Hut and camping fees go towards servicing and maintenance to ensure that these special backcountry facilities remain available. Please see the Department of Conservation visitor centres for further information and hut/campsite pass sales.

There will be hut wardens in the huts over the busy season to provide park and weather information.

Any group - maximum size is 12.
