At Alpine Cabins, our values shape every cabin we build and every customer we support — especially right here in Wellington. We’re a local team that believes in honest service, solid craftsmanship, and making it easy for homeowners to get the extra space they need, without the stress.
Manawatu locals deserve clear, upfront info — so we’re honest about pricing, timelines, and the full process. No hidden fees, no fine print.

We deliver when we say we will and stick to our word. From city suburbs to remote farm sites, Manawatu customers trust us to get the job done.

Despite us mucking around a bit, Brendon was super helpful and understanding. Appreciate all your help and patience! Thanks so much! Hannah Voss2025-01-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy to deal with Brandon and his team, responsive communication and good with setting expectations. Great attention to detail, and care taken building the cabin to a high standard. Requested delivery to a tight spot, down a long narrow driveway, over some powerlines on the back of our section, and they visited a couple of times to make 100% sure they could deliver on site - HIAB guy made it look super easy. Would 100% recommend Alpine Cabins. Pauline Welch2024-12-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Robyn W Wilkie2024-10-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Big shout out to Brandon and his team for the work that he did on our 4 m by 3 m cabin. Had a minor issue which Brandon remedied immediately which was awesome. He delivered in an amazingly quick timeframe. Really appreciated the work he did for us so much so that we have ordered another cabin. Also a big shout out to the transporter guy Brandon uses for his expertise in delivering the cabin. It was a tricky one to install and he handled it with ease 😌. Garth Forbes2024-09-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great Guys to deal with, clear prompt communication. When I damaged a part in a Kit they checked they were sending the correct part and they had it on the freight the samedayy. It arrived in Hawkes bay the next morning. Awesome service good value. Kit was better quality than others I looked at.

What I liked is these guys give you the opinion of owning or renting it. Not alot of cabin companies do this. Communication with the boys was awesome. Highly recommend.
