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

Korimako PurePod is a secluded, off-grid glass cabin designed for privacy and immersion in the surrounding landscape. Located in Hurunui, North Canterbury, this adults-only retreat offers a peaceful escape, with sweeping views across native bush, rolling farmland, and the coast from its thoughtfully designed glass space. Its low-impact design combines sustainability with modern comfort. Set within native bush in Greta Valley, the cabin looks out toward the bay and Motunau Island, with Banks Peninsula visible on clear days. The area is alive with birdsong, including bellbirds (korimako), fantails, and rifleman. Positioned on a historic sheep farm where farmland meets coastal forest, it offers both seclusion and a strong connection to the region’s natural character. As night falls, the clear North Canterbury skies provide ideal stargazing conditions. With no neighbouring accommodation nearby, it’s a tranquil retreat for couples seeking stillness, space, and expansive coastal views. Located ~90 minutes north of Christchurch in Greta Valley. Guests drive via rural roads to parking, then walk 450 m (10 minutes) through native bush and gently uphill to the pod. Birdsong accompanies the walk before opening to coastal views. Detailed instructions are provided; arriving before dark is recommended.

If you don’t have your own bike, don’t worry, you can hire electric mountain bikes from the farmer.
