The Routeburn is really well set up, and if you do the walk in the traditional three days there should be no issue at all getting between the huts. The track is very well constructed and the four huts are quite close together. Total walking time over the three days is probably only 12 hours or so for a fit party. Mind you, you;ll need plenty of time to take in the scenery - its uterly magnificent.
The huts are quite amazing too. In summer, they have gas stoves supplied, solar powered lighting in the evening, flushing toilets and running water. Even 10cm thick matresses - what luxury.
Not sure about the Hollyford and Kepler, but expect they are similar.
