Beachkit Cabanas: Redefining Kiwi Beach Days.

Cabanas the Must Have

There’s been a lot of chatter about beach cabanas lately – particularly across the ditch in Australia, where brands like Cool Cabanas are making waves on the eastern beaches like Byron Bay and the Gold Coast. But here in New Zealand, we think it’s time to shine the spotlight on our very own Beachkit Cabanas, the ultimate solution for Kiwis who love spending sunny days by the sea.

Crafted from premium materials and engineered to handle our famously intense New Zealand sun and blustery beach winds, Beachkit Cabanas are designed to elevate your beach experience. Here’s what makes our cabanas the must-have accessory for your next seaside adventure:


Effortless Setup

Gone are the days of wrestling with complicated beach shelters. With Beachkit Cabanas, you’ll be ready to relax in just two minutes. The ingenious design features a centre pole that screws into the sand for maximum stability and four spacious sand pockets to anchor your cabana securely. No need for extra stakes or anchors – the beach is your playground.


Superior Sun Protection

New Zealand’s sun is no joke, but with UPF 50+ UV protection, our cabanas block 98% of harmful rays. Tested and approved by ARPANSA, Beachkit Cabanas let you enjoy the outdoors without worrying about sunburn or skin damage.


Built to Stay Put

Whether you’re dealing with a gentle breeze or unexpected gusts, our Quik Twist Self-Anchoring Auger and vented top design provide unbeatable wind resistance. Plus, our extra-large, 40cm-high corner sandbags offer added stability, so you can relax without the worry of a runaway cabana.


More Than Just Shade

We’ve thought of everything to make your day at the beach even better. The patented fold-up centre table (50cm x 50cm) includes handy holders for your drinks and essentials, keeping everything within easy reach. It’s the ultimate in comfort and convenience.


Portability Perfection

At just 4.5kg and packed into a compact 1.6m-long shoulder carry bag, our cabanas are lightweight and easy to transport. Perfect for families, couples, or solo beachgoers, Beachkit Cabanas bring portability and practicality together.


Ample Space and Elevated Design

With 3.8m² of shade (approximately 41ft²) and a height of 2.1m in the centre, our cabanas are roomy enough for the whole family. The high entrance (1.7m) ensures easy access, and the corner storage pockets (25cm x 25cm) keep your belongings organised.

We’re thrilled to see so many people embracing beach cabanas, and while Cool Cabanas have their charm, here’s why Beachkit Cabanas stand out:
