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.
