Wake up between the vines. On a working farm, beside a river, or above a bay you would never have found on your own. Campable opens up private land across New Zealand to motorhome and campervan travellers. Hundreds of sites on vineyards, farms, orchards, sports clubs and resorts — bookable in seconds from your phone. Some hosts will come out and walk you round the vines. Others simply leave the gate open and let you get on with it. Both are the point. No queueing for a numbered bay. No hunting for somewhere legal at dusk. Just a quiet paddock and a view you did not have to share. FIND SOMEWHERE TO STAY • Browse every site on the map, or switch to a list as you travel • Filter for self contained or non self contained vans • See photos, nightly price, facilities and house rules before you commit • Search ahead for your whole trip, or find tonight's stay from the road BOOK IN SECONDS • Check real availability and book instantly — no waiting on a reply • Pay securely in the app, with more than one card saved if you like • Keep your bookings, dates and directions together in one place • Get your host's phone number when you book, so you can reach them if plans change STAY ON REAL PLACES, NOT IN CAR PARKS • Every host is checked before their land goes live • Reviews from travellers who have actually stayed there • Working vineyards, farms and orchards — places you would need an invitation to reach Campable started because New Zealand is full of extraordinary places to park up for the night, and almost all of them are on land you would never get to see. This is the invitation. Download Campable and stay somewhere worth remembering.

About

Alpine Huts Australia

Read full description

Discover 126 of the historic mountain huts of the Australian Alps — the cattlemen's slab huts, ski-touring shelters, gold-rush relics and snow-survival refuges scattered across Kosciuszko, Namadgi, the Victorian high country and the Tasmanian highlands. Tap any hut on the map to hear its story read aloud: who built it, what it sheltered, the fires it survived, and what stands today. Everything works fully offline, so the stories play even deep in the backcountry where there's no phone signal — on a high-country drive, a 4WD track, or a long walk in to a snow-gum hut. Browse all 126 across New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT and Tasmania, see how to reach each one, and let a hut's story begin automatically as you arrive. • 126 huts, mapped with GPS — find the nearest one • Original narrated histories for every hut • Fully offline — no signal needed, ever • Auto-play a hut's story as you arrive (optional) • Save your favourites for trip planning Free to explore three featured huts — Craigs Hut, Wallaces Hut and Seamans Hut. One simple unlock opens the full collection of 126 — no subscription, ever.
