A Luxury Sleepout with Kitchenette at Kaiteriteri, Built by Cosy Cabins of Motueka
Kaiteriteri is one of New Zealand’s most beautiful places, with golden sand, clear water and the Abel Tasman coastline on the doorstep. A setting like this deserves a building that matches it.
This luxury sleepout, built by Motueka’s Cosy Cabins for a Kaiteriteri hillside site, gives its owners a private, stylish space that takes full advantage of the outlook. It combines a fully fitted kitchenette, a 4 m glass door, a timber deck and a roll-out awning, all finished in classic black cladding and delivered ready to enjoy.

1. A Black Sleepout in a Beautiful Setting
Black cladding gives the sleepout a bold, contemporary look that stands out against the green hillside and blue water. Large glazing draws the outlook into the building, so the view becomes part of the interior.
The sleepout is a place for guests, family or quiet time away, with every detail finished to the same standard as a Cosy Cabins home.

2. A 4 m Door for Indoor-Outdoor Living
The standout feature inside is a 4 m glass door. Open it and the room and the deck become one space, with sea air and sunshine flowing straight through. Close it and the glazing keeps the interior bright and comfortable.
Pale walls and flooring reflect the natural light, so the sleepout feels open and airy from morning to evening.

3. A Kitchenette That Works Hard
The kitchenette brings the essentials into a compact footprint: a sink beneath a window with a view, a generous benchtop, timber-look cabinetry, a full-height fridge and a microwave.
It is easy to make breakfast, share a drink on the deck or settle in for the weekend without leaving the sleepout.

4. Decking and a Roll-Out Awning
A timber deck extends the living space outdoors, giving the owners a spot to relax in the sun. A roll-out awning adds shade on bright days and shelter when the weather turns, so the deck stays comfortable through the seasons.
The deck sits against a landscaped garden and rock wall, which settles the sleepout neatly into its site.

5. Challenging Site, Delivered with Care
Getting a finished building onto a hillside site takes planning. The Cosy Cabins team worked with the transport crew on the route and the lift, and a telehandler placed the sleepout accurately on its position.
Cosy Cabins is based in Motueka, a short drive from Kaiteriteri, so our team knows the local roads, the terrain and the way these coastal sites work. We deliver throughout New Zealand, including sites where access takes creative problem solving.


6. Quality Checked and Fully Insured
Every Cosy Cabins build goes through comprehensive QA checks completed by qualified people, so quality is confirmed at each stage before the building leaves our workshop.
Cosy Cabins also carries 5 insurances to keep your project safe, from build through to delivery. It means you can plan your project with confidence, backed by one friendly team from design to delivery.
