Comfort for life on the go: Kakapo Linen
For many, exploring New Zealand’s stunning scenery means hitting the road in a caravan, motorhome or boat.
The joy of adventure can sometimes be dampened by ill-fitting bedding. With no standard sizing for caravan mattresses – some being wider, shorter, or oddly shaped – traditional linen often leaves excess fabric, wasting valuable space.
Kakapo Linen was born out of this very frustration. Now owned by Kathleen Garnett, who took over in February 2024, the business operates from Kathleen’s sewing workshop in Loburn.
A small showroom displays delightfully styled bedding options and alluring fabric swatches. “Customers often stop by in their campervans to browse and discuss the range, yet online orders are just as easy. All I need are accurate measurements,” Kathleen says passionately.
She custom makes bedding, cushion covers, squabs and curtains for caravans, RVs, motorhomes, and boats, favouring natural fibres in a palette of earthy tones.
Beyond comfort, Kakapo Linen embraces New Zealand’s uniqueness. The business proudly supports the Kakapo Recovery Programme and sources duvets from local manufacturers, ensuring high quality and sustainability.
If you seek a nice night’s sleep on the road, search Kakapo Linen online for a bespoke solution, tailored to adventure.
