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.

Exceptionally well equipped. The duvet and beds were very very comfortable. We didn’t meet the owner in person, but Lauren responded to our DM queries very quickly.

Lauren and Wynne were lovely hosts that went the extra mile to make their cabin a comfortable and homely stay in the far north countryside. They’ve thought of everything! Close to cape reinga, sand dunes, beaches and more, it was a really good base. A lovely outlook with the outdoor table for a relaxed dinner. Highly recommend staying here.
I had a good stay at this little cottage situated just about an hour's drive from Cape Reinga. Lauren and Wynne were friendly and helpful hosts and the kitchen has everything you need, plus a great little washer.

Lauren and Wynne was an amazing host to us for our short stay at their lovely batch. The cabin was clean and nicely decorated. They provided options and insider knowledge for new visitors. If we could rate higher we would!
