The Haku mobile and off-grid suites will soon be available to other hotels, estates, vineyards, coastal sites, and wilderness projects looking to add immersive, design-led rooms without the delays and impact of traditional construction. From lakeside lookouts to secluded forest rooms and elevated viewpoints, Haku offers a new category of guest accommodation, one that protects the places people come to experience, while raising both nightly rate and brand.
Tucked away in the heart of the Yorkshire countryside, Denton Reserve has been quietly reimagining what a modern country estate can be: a living landscape dedicated to beauty, biodiversity, and balance. It’s a place where moorland and woodland are carefully managed, where ancient trees and new plantings sit side by side, and where every detail is considered so that conservation and comfort can meet.
Haku 泊 by Koto arrives at Denton as the next step in that vision. These are not cabins in the conventional sense, but fully fledged, off-grid luxury hotel rooms on wheels, mobile, self-contained suites that deliver all the comfort and atmosphere of a high-end room, without ever needing to touch the grid or the ground with traditional foundations. Guests experience a refined, design-led space; operators gain a flexible, movable asset that can be placed exactly where the landscape is at its most powerful. There is no trade-off between sustainability, mobility, and luxury.
At Denton Reserve, the first Haku suites sit lightly on the land, offering guests a new way to stay close to the rhythm of the estate, yet wrapped in quiet, considered comfort. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and a generous skylight draw the Yorkshire sky, trees, and shifting light into the room. Inside, a pared-back natural palette and efficient yet generous layout echo Denton’s philosophy of calm, conscious escape.
Because each suite is off grid and set on wheels, no conventional foundations or heavy infrastructure are required. Viewpoints, woodland clearings, and hidden corners of the estate can become private retreats places where guests wake to birdsong, watch the weather move across the hills, and feel held by the landscape rather than removed from it. Capacity can flex with the seasons; clusters of cabins can be created in new areas with minimal disruption; every suite becomes a destination in its own right, a signature moment in the guest journey.
