About usBuilt in Motueka. Delivered nationwide.
A Motueka team building quality transportable cabins and homes off-site.
Traditional craftsmanship, off-site.
At Cosy Cabins, we believe that a home doesn't need to be large or complicated to be comfortable, functional, and beautifully designed. Our focus is on creating high-quality transportable cabins and tiny homes that offer practical living solutions for modern New Zealand lifestyles.
With decades of building experience behind us, our team combines traditional craftsmanship with efficient off-site construction methods. Each cabin is designed to maximise space, natural light, and durability, ensuring that every build feels warm, welcoming, and built to last.
By constructing our cabins in a controlled workshop environment, we are able to maintain consistent quality while significantly reducing build times compared to traditional on-site construction. Once completed, cabins are delivered and positioned on site, making the process simple and straightforward for our customers.
Our cabins are used across New Zealand for a wide range of purposes — from sleepouts and guest accommodation to lifestyle block homes, holiday cabins, and secondary dwellings. Whatever the use, our goal is the same: to provide thoughtfully designed spaces that feel like home from the moment you step inside.
View Our RangeThe standard behind every build.
Quality, care and a better way to build — in every cabin, at every stage.
Uncompromising Quality
Every cabin is built to the same standard we'd expect for our own homes — quality materials, skilled tradespeople, and rigorous attention to detail at every stage.
Simple Process
From consents to delivery and installation, we guide you clearly through every step so you always know what's happening and when.
Built to Last
Our cabins are engineered to withstand New Zealand's varied climate — from the Far North to the South Island. Durability is our baseline, not a feature.
Sustainability First
Off-site construction reduces waste and site disturbance. We choose sustainable materials wherever possible and design for long-term energy efficiency.
Customer Partnership
We work closely with every customer from first enquiry to final delivery. Your land, your lifestyle, and your plans shape every decision we make together.
Faster Delivery
Building in a controlled workshop means significantly shorter lead times than traditional construction — you're in your new space sooner.

Justin McLean
Founder & Director — Cosy Cabins
Justin McLean founded Cosy Cabins with a straightforward vision: make quality, well-designed small homes accessible to everyday New Zealanders. After years working in traditional residential construction and project management, he saw an opportunity to do things differently — and Cosy Cabins was born from that conviction.
