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.
Drive in and pull up to beachfront paradise at Tatapouri Bay. A place of community, natural beauty and personal touches to help you feel at home. Where you can sit back, relax and savour the day your way.
If you need to access wi-fi, Tatapouri Bay offers free and unlimited access.
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.
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.
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.
Situated about 100 metres away from the glamping tents is a fully equipped communal kitchen complete with gas hobs, microwave, fridge, freezers, toasters and kettles. A great place to cook up some good food in great company. Clean up is a whizz with washing liquid provided. There’s also a filtered water tap handy to help you keep hydrated and a compost bin that we use for gardening.
Two coin-operated commercial washing machines are available. A laundry line with pegs is available to hang washing outside –for the love of crisp, sun-kissed washing.
“Great guys running this family friendly, casual motorcamp. Good facilities and right on the beach. I appreciate the hard work that has gone into upgrading recently.”

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.
