If you’re not careful, you’ll soon find that the PurePod way of life has become completely addictive. Once you’ve experienced total off-grid relaxation in the middle of New Zealand’s breathtaking natural vista, from the comfort and blissful seclusion of your very own glass cabin, there’ll be no space for standard hotel rooms in your life ever again!

Whatever the weather, the views from your solar-powered, WiFi-free PurePod are guaranteed to be exceptional. Drench yourselves in morning sunshine on the deck, or batten down the hatches and watch raindrops dancing on the glass roof – all surrounded by lush native foliage, captivating birdsong and the ever-changing skies overhead.

There are six PurePods to choose from, all discovered in a unique and individually isolated location where dramatic scenery and pure serenity are guaranteed. If you find it hard to choose just one, rest assured that ‘PurePod-hopping’ is a common holiday scenario for those who willingly succumb to this idyllic way of life!

Your PurePod comes equipped with a kitchen, LED lighting, a flushing toilet, bio-fuel heating and a piping hot water shower. With everything taken care of, you’re left with just one very important holiday task: relax.

Pohue PurePod is discovered just an hour from Christchurch, complete with outstanding views of historic Port Levy Bay – not to mention the rolling hills and rocky outcrops this beautiful area of New Zealand is famous for.

Enjoy a scenic drive, followed by an even more scenic walk along the dedicated winding track (unfortunately, the walk and steps are not suitable for those with mobility issues), as the unique Pohue PurePod is revealed below the flourishing macrocarpa trees.  

Whether you choose to relax inside or out, you’ll find you’re in the perfect position to view all the delights of the tussock grasses, all the way down through lush land to the sheltered bay of Port Levy…and all with no people or traffic in sight or sound!

COVID-19 Statement: From 15 December 2021, all PurePod guests must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 (or have an official exemption issued by the Ministry of Health).
