The Department of Conservation's Great Walks bookings have opened this week - but many were full within just a couple of minutes.
Huts and campsites at the Kepler, Milford and Tongariro Northern Circuit walks have all booked out for January.
Every year it's a race to get a booking - last year it took just 15 minutes for accommodation on the Milford Track to fill up for the entire season.
DOC's Heritage and Visitors Director Tim Bamford spoke to Corin Dann.
