Koru Kabin

Coromandel

Koru Kabin is a short 12-minute drive from Tairua in the Coromandel and just over 2 hour's drive from Auckland Airport.

The little off-grid cabin is set on a private spot surrounded by native bush. The mesmerising vistas stretch as far as the eye can see - to the Aldermans Islands, Shoe and Slipper Islands, Mount Paku, and the glowing Tairua township.

The interior of the cabin consists of a bedroom area with a queen-sized bed, a fully equipped kitchen and lounge area, and a wood burner.

The cabin has a warm and cosy ambience, with lots of light on a sunlit day. Huge glass windows connect you to the natural world outside.  As you walk onto the spacious deck, you'll find a sunken outdoor bath - perfect for a relaxing soak before bed.

Whether it's the magical sunrise or the clear view of the full moon, the ever-changing landscape will captivate you at Koru Kabin.

    Such a great place to just chill and relax with beautiful views and lots of bird life. The cabin, although small, has everything you need, and you would have no idea that you are completely off-grid, as all modern conveniences are still available.

    I cannot recommend Koru Kabin enough. We were so blown away by the view, the cleanliness, and the amenities, such as the gorgeous outdoor bathtub and the fireplace. Katie was the best host; our stay was incredibly private, but it was nice knowing she was nearby if we had any questions or concerns. Overall, our stay was flawless, and we hope to be back one day.

    The view, to start, is out of this world! It's an amazing cabin with all you need, a cool little log burner, and it's close enough to Tairua if you need anything. You just can't beat the NZ bush!
