Kowhai Kabins has an easy-going, coastal vibe — the perfect spot for families or groups to unwind together. Set on a generous section with four cabins, there’s plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy a true Kiwi-style holiday.
Cabin One features a queen bed, sofa, dining table, ensuite bathroom, kitchenette, and a ranch slider that opens to let in the summer breeze.
Cabin Two has a double bed plus a double-down, single-up bunk, and a TV that only plays DVDs — ideal for movie nights. French doors open to invite in the cool air.
Cabin Three offers a double bed and bunks, while Cabin Four has a double bed and a king single, also with a ranch slider for easy indoor-outdoor flow.
The utility building is well-equipped with a kitchen featuring a bench oven and, deep fryer. There are three fridge freezers on the property — plenty of space for all your holiday treats! Off the back of the utility, you’ll find the shower and toilet facilities, plus a handy wooden box housing a deep freeze and washing machine.
Two solar showers make rinsing off after a day at the beach a breeze. There’s also car and boat parking, and a filleting bench for cleaning up your fresh catch after exploring the Coromandel’s top fishing spots. The open grassy area is great for a game of cricket, backyard fun, or just lazing in the sun. There is no Wifi, but who needs that when you have the whole Coromandel to explore?
Please note: no tents are allowed, as the cabins comfortably sleep up to 10 guests.
For a super relaxing, communal-style holiday, Kowhai Kabins is the perfect place to unwind and connect.
