About this campground/ rv resort rental

You’ll love this cosy cabin. An oasis in suburbia, tucked beside a stream with peaceful bush views - it feels a world away, yet it’s just 6 minutes to town. This standalone cabin is all yours, with a comfy bed, Smart TV, sunny deck, and your own separate kitchen and bathroom just a few steps along the path.

This peaceful little cabin is perfect for a solo retreat or a quiet stay for two.
Tucked among native trees, it’s private, relaxing, and full of character.
The cabin itself is a single-room space with a comfortable double bed, Smart TV, sofa, and ceiling fan.
Outside, you’ll find a covered deck with chairs and a BBQ - a lovely spot to unwind.
Please note: the kitchen and bathroom are separate from the cabin, just a few steps along a terraced path, it’s a unique setup that many guests find adds to the charm.

We have set up the guest accommodation for self check-in and to be self sufficient and independent. It is your own space.
Those who like privacy will enjoy it here.

The neighbourhood is quiet, it`s rural feeling but extremely central in Whangarei City. If you like an early morning (or evening stroll), the Quarry Gardens are just a 5min walk away, and are truly worth a visit. Head there in the morning for your coffee fix, or breakfast/brunch at the Quail Cafe situated in the gardens themselves.

Your best option for transport here is to have your own car or hire one. There`s some nice cafe`s and Kensington Sports Park within easy walking distance. But if you`d like to explore the area further a vehicle would be ideal.

- The kitchen and bathroom are separate from the cabin, located just a few steps along a short, terraced walkway.
- Please check the photos to ensure you know that the bathroom contains a shower and toilet only. The kitchen sink also doubles as the hand basin for the bathroom.
- Laundry facilities are shared with guests staying in the nearby apartment. If needed, we’ll coordinate access with you.
- The Cabin is situated beside a stream and bush area. While we take preventative measures, you may occasionally see cobwebs, spiders, or insects - they’re all harmless here in Aotearoa. :-)
