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.

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. :-) ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/35000000/34995000/34994915/bd897a96.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Cabin minutes drive from the city centre and local tourist attractions Abbey Caves - Ocean view - Breakfast included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 108 reviews CA $88 CA $127 total includes taxes & fees Oct 17 - Oct 18 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=34994915&PinnedHotelID=34994915&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117040000/117037000/117036913/99b9b0e1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private studio with your own waterfall garden and 5 minute walk to Hospital Horahora - Washer - Dryer - Parking available - Microwave 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews CA $94 CA $134 total includes taxes & fees Oct 15 - Oct 16 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=117036913&PinnedHotelID=117036913&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116770000/116764300/116764251/60ccee0e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Abbey Caves Countryscape Abbey Caves - Air conditioning 8.0 Very good 1 review CA $144 CA $192 total includes taxes & fees Oct 14 - Oct 15 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=116764251&PinnedHotelID=116764251&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99360000/99357700/99357601/3bd36ef8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Seaside Kiwiana Stay with Rustic Path to the Beach Tamaterau - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 27 reviews CA $84 CA $169 total includes taxes & fees Oct 14 - Oct 15 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=99357601&PinnedHotelID=99357601&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property entrance](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9630000/9623900/9623818/842d2385.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kingswood Manor Motel Whau Valley - Kitchen - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 8.0 Very good 501 reviews CA $104 CA $121 total includes taxes & fees Oct 19 - Oct 20 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=9623818&PinnedHotelID=9623818&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37970000/37966500/37966419/f875d230.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### HARBOURSIDE GETAWAY!!!
