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.

Hananui PurePod is a secluded, off-grid glass cabin designed for privacy and complete immersion in nature. Situated on Rakiura / Stewart Island, this adults-only retreat offers a serene escape amid pristine native bush and coastal vistas, combining sustainable living with modern comfort. Set within a protected eco-sanctuary behind a predator-proof fence, the pod overlooks Lee Bay with views toward Mount Anglem (Hananui), the island’s highest peak. The surrounding bush teems with native birds, and guests may hear or spot kiwi (tokoeka) at dusk. Sunsets over the water, birdsong, and untouched landscapes create a deeply tranquil experience. With no neighbouring accommodation nearby, the setting is ideal for stargazing beneath Stewart Island’s dark skies, a quiet, immersive retreat for couples seeking solitude and connection with nature. Stewart Island offers untouched wilderness and abundant wildlife. Guests can explore Rakiura National Park tracks, kayak along quiet bays, or take boat trips around the rugged coastline. Guided trips to Ulva Island provide encounters with native birds. After a day exploring, return to Hananui PurePod to relax on the deck and enjoy the forest beneath the stars.
