Introduction
As the Official Cash Rate (OCR) in New Zealand has recently dropped to 4.75%, now is the perfect time to consider financing your cabin project. Whether you’re looking for a home office, extra guest space, or a backyard retreat, financing your cabin during a period of lower interest rates can be an excellent financial move. Lower OCR means bank loans can become more affordable, making now the best time to order your cabin for the summer break. In this post, we’ll explore the different finance options available and how to make the most of the current economic environment.
Our Finance Options
At Lifestyle Cabins, we understand that everyone’s financial needs are different. That’s why we offer flexible payment options to suit your budget:
- Full upfront payment: Receive a 10% discount when paying for your cabin in full.
- 50% deposit: Secure your cabin with a 50% deposit and make the final payment before delivery.
- Credit card payment: Choose to pay via credit card through Stripe, although fees will apply.

These options give you flexibility to choose how to pay for your cabin, whether you want to take advantage of a discount or spread the cost over time.
Why Lower OCR Matters for You
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand recently lowered the OCR to 4.75%, which directly impacts interest rates for loans. If you’re considering financing your cabin, this means that loans are likely to be more affordable, with lower interest rates reducing your overall costs. For those using a bank loan to finance their cabin purchase, this is a great opportunity to secure a more manageable repayment plan.
Bank Loan Financing
Securing a loan from your bank is another way to finance your cabin. Many banks offer competitive interest rates, especially in times of lower OCR. Here are a few tips to ensure you’re getting the best loan for your needs:
- Compare loan options: Speak to different lenders to see who offers the most favourable terms.
- Consider a fixed or floating rate: Depending on your preference, you can choose a fixed interest rate to lock in your repayments, or a floating rate that adjusts with market changes.
- Check for additional fees: Be aware of any hidden fees that might increase the cost of the loan.
When combined with the OCR cut, bank loans are an affordable option for making your dream cabin a reality.
