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.
