From July 1st, 2022 the hut will be reclassified as a DOC Serviced Hut and must be booked on the DOC Booking System. The adult nightly fee will be $15, and the youth $7.50. The Backcountry Annual Hut Pass will be able to be used when booking online.

A significant portion of the fees will then be available for KRT to fund hut maintenance, including the ongoing supply of firewood which has to be topped up by helicopter on a regular basis.
