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.
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.
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.
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.
“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.”

What started as mostly glamping tents along the oceanfront has slowly evolved to more weather prone options (Tiny home/Cabins) 😅
We will still be offering the glamping experience this summer but for a more limited timeframe. Be sure to book well in advance if you want to secure your space in one of these beauties 🙌
