Great cabin! The view is so nice, we sat at the private fire pit every night looking out on the water trying to spot whales (we did see some porpoises!) The campground is nice and quiet and this cabin had everything we needed. Staff was great and did everything to make our stay the best.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the cabin and made the most of those evenings around the private fire pit. While whales can be a bit elusive, spotting porpoises is always a special treat! It's great to know you found the cabin well equipped, the campground peaceful, and that our team helped make your stay enjoyable. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back to Alder Bay for another relaxing North Island getaway—perhaps next time the whales will make an appearance too!

Highly recommend

This cute and comfy cabin is just perfect for a few days where you feel a bit isolated but have all the amenities close by. With an abundance of wildlife and incredible views, I could not recommend more. We will definitely be back.

The cottage was nice and clean, and the furniture was very comfortable! The chairs in the living room were an excellent place to sit and look out through the big glass sliding doors -- to watch the wildlife. The appliances were awesome and clean, and I really appreciated having tea, coffee, some sugar and spices available ; I find we always forget something, so this is thoughtful and appreciated!The view from #7 is really amazing! It's beautiful, peaceful, and truly a wonderful getaway. The people in the office were lovely and very helpful, and any messages back and forth were answered promptly. I highly recommend this site, whether you want to stay in a cottage or a trailer, or even if you have a trailer and want to rent a space. It's a wonderful environment! I would 10/10 highly recommend it.
