BOUTIQUE CABIN RETREAT ON THE TUTUKAKA COAST
Got cabin fever? Escape to the cure.
Cabin Fever is a boutique two-cabin retreat tucked into the rolling hills of Ngunguru, on the Tutukaka Coast in Northland. Just 25 minutes from Whangarei and 50m from both the Te Araroa Trail and Ngunguru Old Coach Cycle Trail, it’s the ideal base for hikers, cyclists, beach-lovers, families and anyone wanting a peaceful Northland escape.
