Matamata Cabin
We used GridFree solar panels which provides enough energy to run a small fridge, the lights throughout the cabin and to charge a phone.
The cabin is orientated north to ensure the solar panels soak up as much light as possible during summer and also those low lying sun winter months.
Designed and built to work perfectly in nature, with respect for its surrounding environment and a minimal footprint.
The cabin can house four adults comfortably with the queen size inbuilt bed and a queen size mezzanine overhead, reached by ladder.
Ply has been used throughout the cabin to add a sense of warmth, which is also reminiscent of the traditional kiwi trampers huts.

“Buster was built to nestle below the kaimai ranges, and provide a simplistic yet comfortable place for those of us requiring some much needed time-out from the city stressors. Located just two hours from Auckland, NZ in amongst ancient native bush and farmland.
A perfectly clear spring water river supplies the water, wood burning stove the warmth and solar panels the energy to run this small footprint cabin.”
