How It Works
Flexible Payment Options to Suit Your Needs
Own your cabin from day one. Buy your cabin in full and enjoy immediate ownership with no ongoing payments. Ideal for those who want a quick and hassle-free option.
Pay the same weekly rate as renting, but with a key difference—you’ll own your cabin at the end. WINZ-approved with no deposit required for eligible applicants. Flexible 7-year finance options available.
Need a cabin for a few months or a couple of years? Our rental options provide a cost-effective and hassle-free way to get extra space without long-term commitments.
What Our Clients Say
We’re in Northland and had trouble finding a decent short-term rental. Rent2Own’s cabins are solid and comfortable, and the team was really helpful with WINZ paperwork.
I live in Rotorua and couldn’t afford a full home extension. Getting a cabin through the rent-to-own plan gave my teenage son his own space. It’s warm, well built, and didn’t break the bank.
As a property manager in Auckland, I needed multiple cabins quickly. Rent2Own delivered on time, handled all the council stuff, and the quality was way above what I expected.
We were renting a cabin in Tokoroa for months with no real plan. Switching to a rent-to-own option made sense. Now, we’re putting our weekly payments toward something we’ll actually own.
Getting a cabin through Rent2Own was a game changer for us. We’re based in Hamilton and needed an extra room fast. The process was simple, and we love that we’re working toward ownership.
HomeNow Finance makes it easy to get your cabin sooner with simple weekly payments. Apply for fast approval and start your ownership journey without the upfront cost. Flexible terms and affordable rates designed to fit your budget.
WINZ Clients and Applicants with Low Credit Scores
We understand that not everyone meets standard lending criteria. For clients whose only income is from a WINZ benefit, or for those with a below-average credit score, there are two options available to help support your finance application:
Option 1
You can apply with a guarantor who is employed full-time and has a minimum credit score of 600.
Option 2
You can apply with one or more co-borrowers (up to three people in total). Ideally, at least one applicant should be working full-time to strengthen the application.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I rent to own a WINZ-approved cabin?
With our rent-to-own option, you make weekly payments instead of renting endlessly. At the end of the term, you own the cabin outright with no extra cost.
If you qualify for WINZ-approved rent-to-buy cabins, no deposit is required, making it easier to get started. This is a great alternative to renting since every payment goes toward ownership. You get a new cabin, fully built, and ready to use.
Can I purchase cabins outright instead of renting?
Yes, you can purchase a cabin outright with a one-time payment and own it immediately. This option lets you avoid ongoing payments and secure your cabin without financing. Once payment is made, we handle the construction, delivery, and setup, so you get a ready-to-use cabin with no delays.
If you prefer a flexible payment plan, we offer a range of options including rent-to-own with weekly payments leading to ownership, or short- and long-term rentals for those who don’t need to buy. No matter your situation, we have a payment option that works for you.
How much does delivery cost, and where do you deliver?
Delivery costs vary based on location, accessibility, and setup requirements. We deliver North Island-wide, including cities, rural properties, and remote areas.
Before confirming your order, we’ll provide a clear delivery quote based on your address. If your site requires foundation work, site leveling, or utility connections, we can discuss the necessary setup and costs.
We manage the entire process, from construction to transport and placement, ensuring your cabin is delivered safely and ready to use. Our goal is to make delivery affordable, efficient, and hassle-free.
Do I need to pay a deposit to get a cabin?
For WINZ-approved applicants, there is no deposit paid, making it easier to move forward. If you choose a buy option or go through rent-to-own, a standard deposit paid applies. We’ll discuss your payment options and help you choose the best solution for your budget.
If you need financing, we offer flexible terms with clear repayment plans. Our goal is to provide an easy and affordable way to secure a new cabin.
How long does it take to complete construction and delivery?
For pre-built cabins, delivery typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your location. If your site is in a remote area or requires additional setup, delivery may take slightly longer.
For custom-built cabins, construction usually takes 6 to 10 weeks, depending on the design, materials, and workload. Once your cabin is complete, we coordinate transport and placement, which typically adds 1 to 2 weeks for scheduling and setup.
We provide regular updates throughout the process, so you know exactly when to expect your cabin. Our team ensures each unit is fully built, inspected, and ready to use before delivery.
