The Log Cabin came as a kit set delivered to Beachlands on the SS Hirere before the steam ferry was retired on the 31st of August 1928. This was very convenient as the Grove section where is was built was just a few hundred meteres from the wharf at Sunkist Bay.
SS Hirere was built for the Clevedon Steam Navigation Company by C&W Bailey of Auckland. SS Hirere made her maiden voyage 18 January 1897. The SS Hirere's route included Howick, Turanga Creek (Whitford), Maraetai and Beachlands.
