The day the deposit is paid we add you to our build schedule, allow around 5-6 weeks for the north island from then to the delivery of your cabin. The south island is a little longer at around 8 weeks lead time. This gives you time to prepare and level the site and us time to build your cabin! Construction lead times can vary depending on how busy we are, but we will keep you informed. 

We require 50% deposit to place your order into our building schedule. The remaining amount is due the day prior or on the day of delivery.

Our base pricing includes GST and trailer delivery to within 50kms of central Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga or Christchurch. The cabin comes with uncovered 18mm marine plex (waterproof) plywood floor, one double glazed ranch slider & one double glazed window (6m+ sizes come with two windows), professionally wired with CoC certificate and comes fitted with two double power points, one internal LED ceiling light, one external LED light, one external caravan plug point.
We are happy to provide customizations, for example if you'd prefer an off-grid style, unwired cabin — just let us know.

We offer a wide variety of options and are happy to source items not listed below. Be sure to let us know at the beginning of the process what you're trying to achieve, so we can offer advice around what's possible. 
Options include underfloor polystyrene insulation, rust protection coating on the galvanized steel frame, extra double sockets or lights — internal or external, external vent, heat pump, wall heater, cupboards, laminate flooring, entrance step, carpeting with 12mm underlay, additional double glazed windows, upgraded windows to NZ built product, single doors, partition walls, and PVC lined internal walls  — there are multiple ways to customize your cabin.
External features such as a deck, would need to be arranged with your preferred contractor.

Our cabin range is built up off a strong welded and galvanized, box section steel frame with the flooring being 18mm marineplex waterproof plywood. The walls are 75mm thick insulated EPS (expanded polystyrene foam insulation) panel which lock together in tongue and groove to brace the entire cabin.  The roof is dark grey colour steel panel with 50mm insulation to maximize longevity and has a 200mm overhang on either side to ensure waterproofing.
Our North Island windows are double glazed, awning style and ranch sliders are also double glazed to help keep in warmth, with aluminum dark trim frames and they are imported. NZ manufactured joinery is available as an optional upgrade.
South Island joinery is manufactured in Christchurch and are of a higher quality and standard — which is the main reason the cabins in the SI have a higher price point.

For further construction details please feel free to call Sam on 021 301 381.

Our standard walls are EPS panels, which means the internal walls are made of metal. You can hang things on the walls using rivets or magnets. 

We have just launched a new product which has PVC lined internal wall and ceiling. The PVC walls are warmer to touch and help reduce condensation within the cabin. They come in a wood grain or plain white colour way and charged as an additional extra.

Yes! You can either attach items magnetically to the walls or use rivets. Each rivet takes about 2kgs of weight. We recommend to NOT hang heavy items such as large TV's or heavy curtains, EPS panels do not have the structural density of wood, and its likely the panels will bend under lots of weight.

Yes you can. Just call Sam on 021 301 381 and he'll arrange a viewing for you. Our yard is in Hamilton and we also have a viewing cabin in Papamoa, Bay of Plenty. In a couple of months we'll have a viewing cabin in Christchurch but unfortunately not at this stage.

If your planning on putting your cabin in a hard to reach spot - no worries. With the right preparation and planning most locations can be sorted. Our first option for hard to reach places is a Hi-Ab which is a small crane that can lift your cabin to it's desired location, or to a location that we can work from, i.e. over a fence or house and then pushed into place from there. However, remember once it's in - it's in. All Hi-Ab, building or electrical work and/or machinery hire will come at an additional cost, but we will take you through it at planning stage.

No, we don't offer self-contained cabins. We advise you to check with your local council around what is required for self-contained units. Even though the law has changed, its not gone — there are still many rules. The responsibility to meet the law now lies with you, so check it all out first before buying.

We can however build a separate bathroom cabin (with no sleeping area). If this is what you're after — flick us a message.

Not normally, no. Most councils require a 1m - 1.5m set back from any boundary. You can, however, ask your neighbour and get their written approval to be closer than the set back, which will keep the council happy!

Once its built and paid for, its yours, so please ensure you choose wisely and love the design before you order. We don't give refunds on cabins that have begun the construction process.

Just like clearing your gutters out on your house or shed or putting chain lube on your bike, to ensure the maximum lifespan of a product maintenance is required every now and then. For our cabins we recommend every 5 years you get yourself some silicon and re-silicon the seams and any location that looks like water might find it's way in. This is just an insurance policy to ensure you never have any leaks or water problems whatsoever. If you live by the coast we also recommend every 5 years re-coating the frame with a rust stopper or sealant that can be found in spray cans from hardware stores.

If you do a bit of maintenance every now and then, not only will you maximize the lifespan of your Cabin but we're sure you'll will be pleasantly surprised how long your cabin will last and how much it can endure.

We don't rent cabins or offer rent to buy. We do work with MTF finance as an finance option for you, the link is on our contact us page if you'd like to explore their options. 

Yes! In 2026 we are now delivering our cabins around the Christchurch area. Our son Jack is heading up the Christchurch branch and we look forward to working in the awesome south island. We're offering the exact same deal - free trailer delivery within 50kms of central Christchurch, then you pay per km after that. This is a brand new step for us, and although the cabins are built in Christchurch, the lead times are a little longer - around 8 weeks so factor this in when ordering. Contact us for more details. Thanks! Sam, Alisa & Jack.
