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.
Our sweet little log cabins are both quaint and cosy. Perfectly suited for one or two people to enjoy an East Coast experience. Wake up to sea views with a cup of tea on the deck and watch the world’s first rays of light kiss the 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.
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.
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.
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.
You’ll be stoked to know hot showers come at no additional cost. That being said, we trust you’ll remain conservative in your precious water usage.
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.
