Safety is of uttermost priority to us. Our cabins have an electrical compliance certificate, by certified electricians. We make it simple for you, we provide a 15m-20m long lead that can plug into a normal household power point, the other end is similar to one a caravan would use that goes into the cabin .

A 3.0m wide driveway for access is preferred, but we can work with you to see how we can access the property. The cabins are wider than a caravan or boat so it is important to check there is enough space. If we can't tow the cabin into place we can orgnaise a hiab to lift it over fences, roofs etc, however this is a costly job so we prefer to keep the cost down for our customers as much as possible.

A clear space around the cabin and above the cabin is needed to maneuver the cabin into position. We need 3.5 meters height clearance from trees, power lines, overhanging building soffits, and other obstructions is necessary. This is something that will be discussed in detail prior to delivery.

Generally the answer is no, our cabins come on trailers with wheels and you should not need any consent, they are registered as caravans so not considered a permanent structure. However it is your responsibility to check with your local authority if you are unsure.

We build them on trailers for a few reasons> Flexibility of moving the cabin, if you need to go to another location, also allowing us to bypass resource consent regulations.

The driver will arrive towing the cabin behind one of our Utes. We will find a suitable location to position the cabin on your site, the cabin can be on concrete, gravel or hard ground. We can place the cabin on slight sloping ground but not steep hills or drop offs.

The driver will then level and stabilise the cabin, attach / setup the deck and steps. They will plug the power into the cabin and will show you how to plug it into your property. The drawbar is also removed to provide you with more space.

If you are renting an Ensuite Cabin the driver will connect the fresh water pipes and waste water. (You will need to order your own gas bottles).

We do not provide furniture, however the cabins are carpeted and are painted in neutral tones. They also have curtain rails but curtains are not supplied.

Cabins are fitted with a smoke detector.

Our Ensuite Cabins, have a wardrobe with a draw, breakfast bar area with storage cupboards and microwave shelf.

A full size shower, basin and flushable toilet in the bathroom. Our Ensuite cabins also are fitted with an aircon/heat pump
