Company info

PurePods offers a collection of 16 luxury off-grid glass cabins located in some of the most spectacular and secluded landscapes across Aotearoa, New Zealand. Each PurePod is designed to provide a unique experience of total privacy, nature immersion, and sustainable luxury, allowing guests to disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with the natural world. Built almost entirely from glass, including the walls, roof, and floor, PurePods create a feeling of being fully surrounded by nature while enjoying the comfort of a warm, beautifully designed cabin. Guests can fall asleep beneath star-filled skies, wake to sweeping landscapes, and experience New Zealand’s native birdlife and changing weather from the comfort of their private retreat. Sustainability sits at the heart of the PurePods philosophy. Each cabin is completely off-grid, powered by solar energy and designed to minimise environmental impact while maintaining modern comfort. PurePods partners with landowners who share a commitment to conservation, helping restore native bush, protect biodiversity, and preserve the natural beauty of the surrounding land. Whether perched above coastal cliffs, hidden within native forest, or overlooking vineyards and mountain ranges, every PurePod offers a private escape where guests can slow down, breathe deeply, and experience the magic of pure New Zealand nature.

Property info

Greystone PurePod is a secluded, off-grid glass cabin designed for privacy and immersion in the landscape. Set in the Waipara Valley, this adults-only retreat offers a calm escape, with uninterrupted views across vineyards, rolling hills, and open countryside from its thoughtfully designed glass space. Its low-impact design combines sustainability with modern comfort. Positioned above the award-winning Greystone Vineyard, the cabin looks out over the valley, with the Teviotdale Hills behind and glimpses of the Southern Alps on clear days. From this elevated spot, guests can observe the rhythm of the vineyard below while native birds move through the skies, creating a peaceful, elevated sanctuary. At night, the remote setting reveals expansive North Canterbury skies ideal for stargazing. With no neighbouring accommodation nearby, it’s a quiet retreat for couples seeking space, stillness, and sweeping vineyard views. Located 45–60 minutes north of Christchurch in the Waipara Valley. Guests drive through rural landscapes to the Greystone property and park at the designated area. From there, a 450-metre walk through rolling hills and regenerating bush leads to the hilltop pod. Detailed arrival instructions are provided; arriving before dark is recommended.
