With its rich gold-mining history, lush rainforests and paradise-like beaches, the Coromandel Peninsula is a sparkling jewel on New Zealand’s North Island.

Named after the native owl species you’ll hear cooing softly at night, Ruru PurePod is beautifully secluded amongst wildlife-steeped forest and wide open farmland, with magnificent views of Mount Karangahake and a gentle soundtrack of the Waitawheta river in the distance.

And since your private, eco-friendly PurePod is crafted almost completely from glass, there’s plenty of scope for you to relax and absorb this incredible scenery… day or night, inside or out.

Everything you’ll need is gainfully provided, from a luxurious shower and flushing loo, to crisp linen, a gas hob and barbecue for cooking – and of course, a telescope for keeping an eye on the vast, star-studded night sky.

(You could even opt for a delicious breakfast and dinner hamper, bursting with fresh locally-sourced produce, and forgo any meal-prep at all!)

Achingly close to the Hauraki Rail cycling trail and the Karangahake Gorge Historic Walkway, there’s plenty of scope to get out and explore. Nearby Waihi Beach, boasting nine kilometres of golden sand, is perfect for swimming and surfing, too.

But if you really want to unwind and re-connect – both with your loved one and the natural world at its most mesmerising – then simply step out onto the deck, settle yourself in the comfortable outdoor furniture and revel in this idyllic setting.
