Zen cabins
Awaken to the beauty of the big blue from the comfort of your bed. Our self-contained Zen Cabins are a luxury escape for those wanting a truly unique experience of the East Cape.
Slow down and sink in to the beauty of nature in our cosy Lotus Belle tent. Resting right on the water’s edge, you’ll have front row seats to the first sunrise on earth.
If you need to access wi-fi, Tatapouri Bay offers free and unlimited access.
Kindly note we are located in an isolated area, with not phone coverage. Which means everyone will be using same wifi.
Sauna and a swim for the win. Relieve stress, enjoy a bit of a detox and once you’ve worked up a good sweat, dip into the refreshing sea for some full body invigoration.
Facing the water’s edge, our outdoor spa is the perfect place to relax, unwind and soak up the good vibes.
Only available for beachfront cabins Little Villa, Tiny Home, Zen Cabins & Glamping Tents. Booking requested. (Subject availability)
Open during the spring and summer season, enjoy a taste of Tatapouri Bay with great coffee and treats.
Currently working hours:
Saturday and Sunday: 8am to 2pm.
Tatapouri Bay is a natural playground for all ages to enjoy but littlies can also discover swings and slides at our children’s playground.
There is a shower and toilet available with disability access in the main facilities.
We are strong believers in doing our part to protect our beautiful whenua (land). You can help us by recycling paper, plastic, glass and aluminium at our on-site recycling station.
Launch ready and anchors aweigh. Boaties headed out for some offshore fun have access to an on-site boat ramp. Just remember to have your safety gear and life vests on board.
Exclusive to glampers only is a newly built toilet and shower block for private use. Just a hop, skip and a jump from your glamping tent. Oh, the joys and comforts of sweet glamping life!
Cook up some local kiwi kai (food) over the barbie and enjoy the beach vibes to the fullest. It is located in the main facilities and it is first come, first serve.
Two coin-operated commercial washing machines & dryer are available. A laundry line with pegs is available to hang washing outside –for the love of crisp, sun-kissed washing.
Price: $4 dollar. Machine only accept $1 dollar and $2 dollar coin. You can cash out at reception in case you need coins.
Situated near the spa & sauna facilities. It is a fully equipped compact communal kitchen with electric cooktop, microwave, fridge, toaster and kettle. A rustic place to cook up some good food in great company with great view. Clean up is a whizz with washing liquid provided. There’s also a filtered water tap to help you keep hydrated and a compost bin.
“This place is one of the special hidden treasures of NZ. Brilliant sunrise, hospitality was first class and the total glamping experience was top shelf.
Can’t wait to go back.”

Our sweet little log cabins by the beach are both quaint and cosy. Perfectly suited for one or two people to enjoy an East Coast experience.
