- How quickly can you deliver?
If we have a cabin ready we have been known to deliver cabins on the day customers have called us. - Do I need to prepare the site?
There isn’t usually any site prep that you need to do. If the site is steep or there are potential problems you are concerned about, then just let us know. We can look at your property on Google Earth or pop around to check if needed. - How do you make the cabin level?
We have jacks, levels and packers that we use to make sure the cabin is nice and level for you. This is all part of the delivery process. - Do we need a permit?
No, you don’t need a permit to get a Cabin King Cabin. There are regulations about where a cabin can be placed on a property, but this usually isn’t a problem. - Is there a delivery fee?
The delivery fee is between $150 and $200 in Auckland and Waikato and from $200 in the Bay of Plenty (click here for more info). This includes bringing the cabin to you, setting it all up and removing it when you don’t need it anymore. So it is like a delivery/removal fee. - How do you deliver my cabin?
We deliver your cabin on a custom-built trailer. We pride ourselves on getting cabins into difficult areas and if we can’t get the cabin in then there is no charge to you. - What if there is no access to the site?
If there is no access to where you need the cabin, we can employ a transport company to lift the cabin into place using a Hiab crane. Unfortunately, this does cost more, however, if you are going to have the cabin for quite a while then the extra cost doesn’t add much to the weekly cost. - How do we connect to power?
We provide a power cable to you. One end connects to the cabin with a specialised outdoor connector. The other end plugs into any ordinary power point in your home, garage or shed.
- Are the cabins insulated?
YES! Cabin King cabins are insulated to a residential standard, with Batts in the walls and ceiling and either polystyrene or foil insulation underneath. This keeps them warm and toasty in winter. - What can I fit in the cabin?
Standard cabins can fit up to a Queen size bed plus a couple of small pieces of furniture.
Large cabins can fit up to a Kingsize bed plus larger furniture.

No. A benefit of Cabin King cabins is that they are built on top of a steel frame and steel skids. This makes them much easier to access, with no need for steps. They are also more solid and don’t rock, as they don’t need stabilisers like cabins on wheels. - How high / wide are the cabins?
Large cabins are 4.2m long, 2.4m wide and 2.4m high at their highest point. Large cabin roofs are 2.85m wide.
Standard cabins are 3.6m long, 2.4m wide and 2.4m high at their highest point. - Do your cabins have bathroom facilities?
No. Cabin King cabins do not have bathrooms in them. - Are the cabins painted inside?
Most of the cabins are painted on the inside, however some have a natural woodgrain finish. We will try and provide the finish you like, but it may depend on what is available. - What colours are they?
The outside of the cabins are a modern light Grey colour, with the roof a darker blue/grey colour. The inside walls are either a light off white colour or woodgrain. - Do they have curtains?
Yes, all Cabin King cabins come with curtains. - Do they have carpet?
Yes, all Cabin King cabins come with carpet. We can take the carpet up if you prefer a smoother hard floor surface.
- Can I rent out the cabin long-term and earn some extra money?
Absolutely. Cabin King cabins are used for borders, students or short stay Airbnb type accommodation, plus a variety of businesses operate out of Cabin King cabins. - Do you provide WINZ Quotes?
Yes. We are registered with Work and Income and can provide quotes for you if required. - Is there a minimum rental period?
Yes. The minimum hire period is 6 months. If you need a cabin for a shorter period, contact us and we will see if we can help out. - What if I want to keep the cabin longer than six months?
That’s fine. There is no need to contact us, just keep the cabin as long as you need and give us two weeks notice when your ready to give it back - Is a bond required?
Sort of. We ask for four weeks rent in advance at the beginning. This covers your first weeks rent and the remaining three weeks acts like a bond that you get back at the end. - Do I get my rent in advance back?
