We deliver rentals throughout Northland and Auckland, and sales across the entire North Island. Delivery costs depend on the complexity of the site and the distance to the location. As a guide, delivery in the Whangārei area ranges from $500 – $750. Estimates for delivery out of town can be provided upon enquiry.
The majority of our Cabins can be delivered by our main delivery contractor. Our contractor has a specialised 4WD ute and trailer system with a motorised trolley, which means we can get to almost anywhere you can drive to.
If you can’t drive to the Cabin site, then a Hi Ab may be required. A Hi Ab can reach up to 10m and lift the Cabins over fences and other obstacles that may be in the way. You can find more information on delivery and site access over here.
The access needs to be a minimum of 3.5m wide and have a height clearance of 3.3m.

Your site needs to be reasonably level and our installers need at least half a metre of workspace around the Cabin. If your site does not meet these requirements, then please get in touch and we can discuss possible solutions to make things work with your site.
This is dependent on a couple of different factors. Generally, if we have one on-site, we may be able to get it delivered within a couple of days. However, if we need to build your Cabin, it will take around 4 weeks. Please get in touch with us with any questions or to check availability.
These vary depending on your delivery address. We require transportation costs (delivery and collection) plus five weeks’ lease as a security bond. WINZ quotes can be provided. You can find the Rental Application form here.
All our Cabins are wired by licensed electricians and come with an electrical certificate of compliance.
The units come with a 20 metre, 16 Amp electrical lead that is ideally plugged into a caravan outlet, however we do supply all our cabins with a 10 Amp adaptor that can be plugged into a standard power point.
Water connections are only required if your Cabins features bathroom and/or a kitchenette.
