From Made by Hideaway

A little 15sqm rentable eco cabin designed and built to make the most of this incredible elevated location up in the Waipu hills, Northland New Zealand overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The cabin is completely off-grid capturing rainfall to topup water reserves and solar to power all the appliances. Built with longevity and sustainability at the forefront, but also with ultimate comfort and sense of understated luxury. Also to ensure the cabin will eventually meld seamlessly into the landscape over time, allowing nature to regrow and soften the edges of the cabin.
