Adelaide Tarn Hut

Adelaide Tarn Hut is a basic 4-bunk backcountry hut in Kahurangi National Park (Nelson/Tasman region), run by the Department of Conservation. It’s set up for first-come, first-served use with no bookings required, and use is free.

The hut has 4 bunks and pit latrine toilets, with no drinking water or fireplace provided—plan to bring your own water and cooking heat. The official hut webpage indicates the hut is reachable on tracks and is typically used on multi-day trips (listed duration 5–7 days), with the page marking the route difficulty as expert.
