Looking for a farm tour or a long lunch? Slow down, explore, and make your stay even more memorable. If you can't decide what to do, check out our PurePod Plus Packages below which are collaborations with some iconic partners you won't want to miss.

Wine tasting

For those who appreciate a fine drop, a stay at Greystone PurePod is a must-do. Set in the heart of North Canterbury wine country, this PurePod is perched above Greystone Vineyard, an organic winery renowned for its world-class Pinot Noir. Enjoy wine tasting and a long lunch at Greystone’s Cellar Door, where their winemakers serve up exquisite wine flights paired with seasonal, locally sourced fare. Then, retreat to your glass-enclosed haven to watch the sun set over the vines, completely immersed in nature.

Nature Swimming Holes

Mākoha PurePod in Kerikeri and Ruru PurePod in the Coromandel are perfectly positioned for guests who love a freshwater swim. At Mākoha, follow the winding bush track down to a tranquil waterhole, where you can cool off under a canopy of native trees, surrounded by the sounds of tūī and kererū. At Ruru, the nearby freshwater swimming hole and waterfall offers a peaceful escape, whether you’re after a quick morning plunge or an afternoon lazing by the water. After your swim, soak up the warmth on your PurePod deck, pour a glass of something cold, and revel in the feeling of total seclusion.

Bike Adventures

If you are keen to venture beyond your PurePod, e-bike hire is a fun, easy way to explore.

Both Tāima and Haurapa PurePod are located near the spectacular Lake Dunstan Trail, a stunning lakeside ride that winds through dramatic Central Otago landscapes, perfect for a leisurely outing or a bit of a challenge, depending on your pace.

At Korimako and Atatū PurePod, guests can enjoy a private 8km mountain bike loop exclusive to the property. The trail features sweeping views over the Hurunui River mouth, Pegasus Bay coastline, and Banks Peninsula. With a few steep gradients to keep things interesting, it’s a fun and rewarding ride.

PurePod Farm Tours

Take a guided farm tour and immerse yourself in the rich history and natural beauty of the land. At Kokomea PurePod, meet one of the friendly farmers and explore the regenerating gully and wetland conservation project, where you can observe the local birdlife. At Korimako or Atatū PurePod, enjoy a one-hour drive through the farm, learning about the history dating back to 1850, as well as the challenges and triumphs of the original family settlers. Along the way, you’ll also visit a local seal colony, adding an extra touch of nature to the experience.
