This is the iconic experience I will think of when I think of New Zealand.

Exceptional concept, design, and setting. Our favorite accommodation in 4 weeks of traveling through Australia and New Zealand. Quiet, scenic, luxe.

Not having WiFi. Though it was lovely to disconnect, it was impossible to prepare our daily traveling email for family and to research local activities.

A unique experience for a special occasion

9.0

Incredible views and it was just amazing to be so private. Facilities were great. It was very hot while we were there but we could get shade by using the shade blinds and a breeze by opening strategic doors. We had stars one night and it was incredible viewing them from bed :)

We had a couple of issues with some of the equipment at the pod but communicated these with the owner so hopefully it won't impact future guests.

I would absolutely repeat the experience!

8.0

Beautiful view, clean, eco friendly, thoughtful touches, very private. Quiet.

Unfortunately the outside furniture was broken and the acrylic chairs weren’t suitable for the deck which made sitting outside for us both difficult.

Good to know

There is a 10-minute nature walk from the parking lot to the PurePod, therefore guests must arrive before dark. Full directions and further information will be provided by the property once your booking has been processed.

You must be a nonsmoker to stay at a PurePod as there are strict no smoking rules in place on the entire property (inside and outside) due to the potential fire risk in these pristine rural landscapes.

Please note your credit card will be pre-authorized at time of booking.This property does not accommodate bachelor(ette) or similar parties.

A deposit may be required at the property.
