    Gosh actually can’t think of anything I didn’t like. I loved everything about this stay - from the warm and cosy interior setting, to the luxurious bath, the off grid feel was something too, loved cooking in the kitchen and hearing the whistle of...

    The Isolation was fantastic... Also, the bath and fire place we great too. The shower was very good, high pressure and clean. Loved the little things about the place.

    We loved the uniqueness and quirkiness of this stay. The native and tropical trees around the cabin made it feel like we were nestled away in the bush. We enjoyed sitting out having breakfast while spotting birds and listing to them sing.

    The location was wonderful. This is a beautiful place on the maunga that sits halfway between lush green bush and yet still close to the coastal beachheads. Our favourite aspects were the niche off-grid aspects (gas cooking kettle), the...

    This a true hidden gem. The care and attention Jane and Alby have put into the styling, layout and facilities is second to none. The peace and solitude of the Kaitake Ranges partnered with the native birdsong was so relaxing.

Book your stay at Kaitake Kabana, a secluded studio retreat, and experience the magic of off-grid, solar powered living in a rural location surrounded by greenery. Here you can step away from the daily grind and immerse yourself in nature, listening to the nearby creek while rejuvenating in the outdoor bath. This space is ideal for two, perfect for couples looking for a romantic getaway (but can sleep up to 4 people if required). The bathroom space and kitchenette are detached from the main living space, accessible via the deck. There is no wifi here and limited reception, come to embrace the serenity and switch off from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The outdoor fire pit invites cozy evenings spent stargazing and storytelling, creating cherished memories under the night sky.
Situated at the foot of the Kaitake Ranges, from here you can explore nearby hiking trails, pristine beaches, and local attractions, or simply relax and reconnect with nature from the comfort of your own private oasis. Oakura village is 3 minutes down the road, and has a Four Square, butcher, fish & chip shop, pub and a couple of nice cafes/restaurants. New Plymouth city is 20 minutes drive.
