Self-Contained Cabin for Hire | 6.0m x 2.4m

The 6.0m cabin is where our range steps up to fully self-contained living. It has everything you need to be comfortable and independent on site: a proper shower and basin, continuous gas hot water, and a kitchenette with bench space and storage.

It connects to your existing water supply and power, and once it is set up, you are not relying on the main house for anything. That makes it a practical choice for a wide range of situations, from temporary accommodation during a build to longer-term living arrangements.

What Is It Good For?

The 6.0m cabin suits anyone who needs genuinely independent living without stepping up to the full size of the 7.2m. Common uses across Northland include:

Temporary accommodation during a build or renovation Living on your own land while the main house is being built or renovated saves on rent and keeps you close to the project. The 6.0m cabin gives you everything you need to do that comfortably.

Housing while you wait Whether a settlement has fallen through, a new home is not quite ready, or a rental has fallen over, the 6.0m cabin gives you a comfortable, self-contained place to be in the meantime.

Accommodation for extended family A self-contained cabin on the property gives family members genuine independence. They have their own kitchen, bathroom, and front door, which makes longer stays far more comfortable for everyone.

Worker accommodation on rural properties Farm workers or contractors who need to stay on site benefit from having their own self-contained space separate from the main house. It keeps things professional and makes longer placements more practical for everyone involved.

A Few Things to Know

Two 9kg gas bottles are required for the califont. Royce can supply these on request, or you can source your own. Kitchen appliances are not included, so you will need to supply your own. Toilet chemicals and the water and toilet connection are listed as extras, so confirm these with Royce at the time of enquiry.

No building consent is required in most cases, as the cabin is classified similarly to a caravan. Resource consent may be required depending on your boundary setbacks, so we recommend checking with your local council if you are unsure.

Water pressure needs to be a minimum of 30kpa with a flow rate of at least 5 litres per minute. Tank water is fine as long as a pressure pump is in use. Gravity feed from a header tank is not sufficient, so it is worth checking this before delivery day.

Two weeks notice is required at the end of your rental period.

Site Requirements

Before delivery, it helps to check the following:

The site should be flat or near level
At least 3.5 metres of clear space is needed around the cabin
At least 0.5 metres of clearance above, with no overhanging trees or roof eaves
The cabin needs to be at least 1.5 metres from the boundary (3 metres in some areas, so check with your council)
Clear vehicle access is required, as we cannot use a neighbouring property for access
