This is one of the few places in the area with free parking.
Every day nature puts on a show and you are invited to participate in a way that even when the doors are shut you are not shut out. Your PurePod is total surround glass – that's right even the roof!

The Kahutara PurePod is perched high above the Kahutara River with vast views across to the mighty Seaward Kaikoura Mountain Range. It is only 20 minutes inland from Kaikoura and 2.5 hours north of Christchurch.

The space
Completely off-grid, this luxurious glass eco-cabin stay is the perfect way to reconnect with nature and that special someone!

Perched high above the Kahutara River with sweeping views of the majestic Seaward Kaikoura Mountain Range, this slice of paradise is the perfect place to drop everything and unwind.

At night you sleep with the Southern Cross and millions of other stars, by day you are surrounded by dramatic natural landscapes with you own slice of pure New Zealand native bush literally at the back door. Relax, let nature refuel your soul.

The PurePod is totally self contained with cooking facilities, toilet, extraordinary shower (all glass), crockery, games and acres and acres of privacy. An optional add-on dinner & breakfast package can be purchased after booking, or you can bring your own supplies.

The privacy, the isolation of a tiny glass hut completely surrounded by nature – the sky, the hills, the sea, the birds, the bush – takes you to another world.

Guest access
The walk from your secure carpark sets the tone for your secluded overnight escape and will take you around 15 minutes.

Please note this accommodation is not suitable for those with mobility issues.
