And if there’s something we haven’t covered, feel free to reach out – we’d love to hear from you.
General & Pre-Rental
Is there a Minimum Rental Period?
Our minimum rental period is 6 months as this works out the most economical for our customers and also allows us to maintain our low weekly rental rates.
The majority of our customers will take an initial rental term contract of between 6 to 12 month and then continue to rent after that period is up.
There is no limit to how long you keep renting your cabin after your rental period is over – we have some happy customers who are nearing into their 4th year of cabin rental.
Is a Credit Check required?
Yes we conduct a credit check. Please see our cabin rental application form for more details.
Is a Rental Bond required?
Yes, a bond is required but it is very competitively priced. Please call us for more specific details.
Is there a Delivery Fee?
In order to cover our transport and setup costs we do charge a delivery fee depending on your location. Please call us for more specific details.
What are Site Requirements and Access to Site?
How far off the boundary does the cabin need to be?
In most areas at least 1.5m from the boundary. In some cases 3m. Please check with your council to confirm which applies to your property.
Do we need Council Consent for the cabin?
No – Because they are a temporary and mobile form of accommodation. It would be in very rare circumstance that you could require a consent for a portable cabin.
All of our cabins are built in our undercover factory by professional tradesmen and than trucked and relocated at your site.
Delivery & Setup
Can we pick up the cabin ourselves?
No, moving the cabins is a job for our specialist drivers and equipment to tow over-dimension loads. The cabins are not insured for hirers to move them themselves.
How are the cabins delivered?
The cabins are towed with our 4×4 vehicles using the required safety equipment for over-dimension loads. We need unobstructed access to get the cabin onto your site.
For insurance compliance, we are unable to deliver a cabin using a neighbour’s property.
Does the cabin stay on the trailer?
Yes. The cabin is built on the trailer/chassis.
