Area
Currently our most supplied region is the greater Whangarei area. We have however supplied cabins across much of the North Island so don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Call us on 021 469590 to see if we can deliver to your location.
Council Consent
Our cabins are all transportable and are under 30sqm – therefore do not require a permit. All councils however have varying requirements, so we recommend all our customers check with them prior to delivery.
Delivery
We deliver via specialised trailers or Hiab depending on the site requirements.
Experienced installers will get your cabin on site, level and stabilise it to your needs. If in the future you would like your cabin moved (e.g. to another place in your property or if you’re moving house), you will need to get in touch with us.
Your cabins can be installed easily provided your suggested site is level and the access is at least 3.5 metres wide. When we arrange delivery, we will thoroughly review this with you and if necessary, we will complete an inspection of your site.
The cabin is typically 2.8m high so we need to ensure there is sufficient clearance from trees and powerlines.
Yes, this cost is dependent on the location of your home. Included in the cost of the delivery fee will be getting your cabin to site, ensuring it is level, connecting it to power and then removing it when your lease ends.
We can usually deliver your cabin a few days after your application is approved. We work hard each day to ensure we have availability quickly. If there are any delays Jason will advise you at time of enquiry.
No. To ensure the cabin is insured, we need to ensure delivery takes place to our requirements.
Ensure there is easy access to the site and your site is level. Jason is available to discuss prior to your delivery day if you have any questions.
