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

Tokoeka PurePod is a secluded, off-grid glass cabin designed for privacy and immersion in the natural environment. Located on Rakiura / Stewart Island, this adults-only retreat offers a peaceful escape, surrounded by native forest and coastal outlooks, with a thoughtful balance of sustainability and modern comfort. Set within a protected eco-sanctuary behind a predator-proof fence, the cabin looks out over dense bush and the bay below. Guests may encounter kiwi (tokoeka) in the wild and take in vivid sunsets, while the island’s status as one of the world’s southernmost Dark Sky Reserves creates exceptional conditions for night sky viewing. With no neighbouring accommodation, the setting remains quiet and undisturbed, ideal for couples seeking stillness, native birdlife, and a truly remote island experience. Guests reach Stewart Island via a 60-minute ferry from Bluff or a 15-minute flight from Invercargill. From Oban, travel 4 km to Mamaku Point Conservation Reserve by taxi, bike, or on foot. A 380-metre bush track leads through the predator-proof fence to the pod, passing native forest alive with birdlife. Guests should be comfortable walking a short distance with essentials in a small backpack.

Neighborhood info

If you are able to tear yourself away from the luxurious comforts of Tokoeka PurePod, there’s so much to enjoy on Rakiura, Stewart Island.

For a unique experience, take a guided tour of Ulva Island, a predator-free sanctuary rich in native birdlife and history. The local quiz night is a must for a fun evening where you can meet the friendly locals. If you’re after something a little more peaceful, there’s no better way to unwind than by stretching out on the PurePod deck, sipping a glass of wine, and soaking in the quiet solitude, free from the hustle and bustle of people and traffic. Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, Stewart Island has it all.
