Walk To Your PurePod

The walk up to Haurapa PurePod is a 700m walk. Take your mind back to the gold mining days when these pathways were once used for sluicing gold through water races. Haurapa PurePod sits 317m above sea level, so you could be walking through the clouds to find your secluded PurePod. Take time to look across to the mighty Pisa Mountain Range.

A Secluded Setting

Privacy is assured at the Haurapa PurePod. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be surrounded by vast views that make total relaxation a compelling prospect! With no one nearby, you can sit back, relax and soak in the views. Haurapa PurePod looks straight at the Pisa Range, snow-covered for much of the year.

Experience ultimate relaxation with a glass of locally produced wine on your own private deck, while watching the sunset transform the Pisa Mountain Range into a beautiful golden hue during the final hours of light.
