About this property

Kowhai Cabin - Serene Scandi Escape in Hokitika

Welcome to Kawhai Cabin - a modern little hideaway tucked just minutes from the heart of Hokitika. Designed with a touch of Scandi simplicity, it’s the kind of place that feels instantly calm - light, airy, and thoughtfully designed. Step out into your own private garden and patio to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine surrounded by birdsong. Perfect for a peaceful retreat that’s close to town yet feels worlds away.

We are just an email or message away if you require any assistance during your stay.

We have a very busy focused team and trying to reach us by phone can be challenging so for a swift reply please use the reservation platform you booked through.

Get in touch to find out more about this fabulous property only a minutes walk from central township. It's been reviewed as a place 'you just don't want to leave!'

Travelling with an Electric Vehicle?

If you’re travelling with an electric car, you're very welcome to charge it here at the property during your stay. Please bring your own charging cable - a longer one can be helpful, as plug access is usually inside the house.

There’s also a public charging station nearby at New World Hokitika, in case that’s more convenient for you.

Whichever option works best, we hope it helps keep your travels smooth and easy.

We would move in if we could. Clean, secure, very comfortable and nice and private. Fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. I would recommend this to anyone looking for great beach house.

Kōwhai Cabin was in an excellent location to the town centre and the beach, an easy walk to both. The Glow Worm Dell was less than 10 minutes walk and well worth a visit. The cottage was very private down a leg-in drive and designed well for the sun. It was very clean and had everything we needed. It has plenty of space both inside and out. There was only two of us but still plenty of room if four people stayed. Not a negative but I think the property is better suited for adults and teenagers than a family with young children. I would stay here again.
