Kaitake Kabana - Unique, off-grid, studio retreat♡

Super relaxing and much needed break away.

It was comfortable, felt like you were miles away from the rest of the world but you actually aren’t and it’s not far to Oakura or New Plymouth. The bed was 10/10 comfy.

− Slightly difficult to cook when it’s raining, but there was one gas hob inside if we really wanted to cook. A covered BBQ area would be great!

The perfect spot to rest and recuperate!

Beautiful spot to stay after doing a big overnight hike. Well thought out inside and spacious enough for 4 especially having the kitchen seperate. Loved the outdoor bath and fireplace and it was such a lovely way to start the day, sitting on the front deck listening to the tui sing.

Peaceful, idyllic setting. Beautiful plants & gardens. Well-designed building layout that really shows how well a small space can work, and we loved being off the grid. Lots of thoughtful little touches that made our stay comfortable - we had everything we needed and were sad that we didn't have time to enjoy the outdoor fire space. Amazing water pressure! The owner handled us turning up an hour early very well (totally my mistake and we went to the beach for a bit rather than hang around awkwardly).

− As others have said a fan would help a lot at night, but this is a small thing (we read the reviews and brought one with us). The photos showed a very different room layout which I thought looked better and also would have worked better for two people sharing the space. These small things are massively outweighed by all the lovely features though and we would happily stay again.

Completely off the grid experience

• Veeeeery comfortable bed • All the real plants inside - LOVED IT • That the bedroom & livingroom were separate from the batbroom and kitchen • The private driveway infront of the cabin to park car was huge and it was easy to get luggage in & out

− • Not even having a little fan available in this heat was making the start of our stay a bit unbearable as when we arrived the cabin was soaking hot - having moskito nets or blinds from the outside to stop the heat from coming easily in could be an option • The coating of the bath outside was pealing off, which was not nice to lay in

Cette cabane est tres belle, confortable, très bien équipée. La douche exterieure est une belle expérience. C’est très calme et reposant. J’ai adoré.
