Many customers choose our cabins over others because of the higher quality, design and looks. All of our cabins feature the side ranch slider and deck design which give the interior a feeling of more light and space and the exterior a modern and clean look that does not look out of place in any environment. Our cabins are better quality than many other "home-built" styles advertised, and we are also very competitive in our pricing. Another benefit is we mount our cabins higher off the ground than others. This allows for more airflow underneath, resulting in a much drier cabin, which helps to keep the cabin warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer because the air can circulate underneath. All this adds up to being much better for your health. We mount and level our cabins on concrete blocks, this makes them firm and stable when walking around inside. These are just some of the benefits of why people prefer our cabins. We try hard to provide the best possible service and value available in the North Island.

Yes - our cabins are fully insulated in the walls, ceilings, and under the floor. This is great for warmth in the winter and helps keep it cooler in the summer.

Yes - Our cabins come with power connectors that allow easy connection to existing 230v power outlets.

The Norfolk ensuite comes with a shower, vanity and toilet. The kitchenette has a kitchen sink. It comes plumbed to one point at the back. The cabin has a hot water califont which works great when you hook it to mains pressure. If your water supply is from a header tank you may need a small inline pump to assist. The hot water califont requires a gas bottle supplied by you. A 9kg BBQ gas bottle works great. Hook-up is your responsibility. Water to the cabin can be connected to a normal outside garden tap. Black alkathene is preferred over garden hose as it is better for drinking water. Grey water from the cabin can be run to a normal outside drain. The toilet is a cassette-type portapotti only really for nighttime use and needs emptying frequently. Video here. The best option is a standard toilet if you can service it.

Typically No - Because they are a temporary and mobile accommodation registered as a light vehicle with NZTA. It would be very rare circumstances that you could require consent for a portable cabin. eg. A commercial location may require consent. We locate cabins throughout the North Island. If you have any concerns please contact your local council for clarification.

• Microwave / Cooking facility. There is a microwave shelf. For other cooking, most people use small 2 burner electric hobs. 
• Gas bottle for Hot Water Califont. A 9kg BBQ gas bottle works great. 
• Plumbing from cabin to services. Read more in our FAQ... What about Plumbing

Check the power point your power lead is plugged into. Check the circuit breaker button on the power lead. Here is a Cabin Power Document which may help. Here is more if your Circuit breaker keeps tripping. Contact us if you continue to have a problem.

1. Check your gas bottle is full. 
2. Check the intake and outflow taps to the califont are on. They should be vertical. ie. In line with the pipe. 
3. Switch off the power to the cabin for 10 seconds. Then switch back on to reset califont.
4. Check the intake filter is not blocked. On top of the white tap where you connect the water, there is a slot for a screwdriver. Remove the cap and there is a filter inside. Clean and replace.
5. Check you have good water pressure through your hot water tap compared to the cold water tap. The hot water califont works great when we hook it to mains pressure. If your water supply is low pressure or from a header tank you may need a small inline pump to assist. If you need one of these search Trademe for "Hot Water Booster Pump". Make sure you get one that has a built-in pressure switch. Low water pressure may also be caused by a blocked filter. Contact us regarding backflushing the unit.
6. Sometimes they need to cycle through up to 10 times if it is a new califont or been sitting for a while. Inside turn on one of your hot water taps on full. Go outside and turn the tap off at your water intake. Wait for the unit to finish the cycle. Turn the tap back on and see if it starts. If not turn the tap off and wait for unit to finish the cycle. Turn the tap back on and see if it starts. Repeat until it starts. Repeat up to 10 repetitions.
7. Here is a look at the Operating Manual if you have the OptiFlow, or the Operating Manual if you have the HydroPower.

1. Ventilation is crucial. Open windows daily to allow airflow. 
2. If there is no wind a fan will increase airflow.
3. Use the right heaters. Gas heaters add moisture to the air. Small electric heaters work best.
4. Open windows when cooking or showering.
5. Do not hang wet clothes in the cabin.
6. Use a dehumidifier.
