Ata Marino Country Cabin | Beaches & Cape Reinga

YOUR FAR NORTH ESCAPE
Escape to Ata Marino (Peaceful Dawn) - a charming countryside cabin minutes from Pukenui shops & cafes. Wake to stunning sunrises over Mount Camel and scenic farmland. Enjoy freshly brewed Nespresso coffee as you plan your day.

This peaceful retreat sits an hour from Cape Reinga and is central to 90-Mile and other beautiful beaches & fishing spots.

With local amenities nearby and a serene setting, our cabin offers a unique blend of comfort and nature for an unforgettable stay..

THE CABIN
Don't let the compact exterior fool you – step inside and you'll find a surprisingly spacious, thoughtfully designed space with everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Welcome to our modern, brand new cabin. Comfortably accommodating up to 3 guests, the main bedroom features a queen bed, while a cosy single bed awaits in the second bedroom. Both rooms come with handy clothes racks and shelves, giving options to keep your belongings organised and off the ground.

The fully equipped kitchen invites you to create delicious meals with ease. It includes a fridge/freezer, air fryer/oven, induction cooker, 4-slice toaster and kettle. There’s also a great selection of pots, pans, and bowls in various sizes to cover your cooking needs.

​Enjoy café-quality coffee with our Vertuo Nespresso machine, which brews a perfect 230ml sized cup at the touch of a button. Complement your coffee with a milk frother to create creamy, velvety froth—ideal for lattes and cappuccinos. A coffee plunger is also provided for your convenience; however, coffee grounds are not supplied, so please bring your preferred coffee.

For the non-coffee drinkers, we offer a thoughtful selection of loose-leaf herbal teas (some picked fresh from our garden) to enjoy a soothing, comforting infusion.

Step outside to soak in peaceful countryside views of Mount Camel and gently swaying poplar trees. Watch the lively bird-life, including kingfishers and fantails – an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation.

Important Safety Notes:
State Highway 1 runs close to the property and there is a working farm next door, so young children must be supervised at all times when outdoors to prevent accidents.
Pets: Welcome at certain times with prior approval only (+$20/day). Please discuss your pet details with us before booking—must be well-behaved, not allowed on furniture, and kept leashed around livestock. A crate can be supplied during your stay
