Rotorua Natural Wonders PurePod Escape

Rotorua Purepod Accommodation:

At the heart of 350 acres of lush farmland and just a 10-minute drive from the city centre of Rotorua is your very own Rotorua Purepod Escape.

In a region renowned for its striking geothermal terrain, glistening lakes, and magnificent forests. This is where extraordinary and unforgettable intersect. Pāmu PurePod offers a luxurious peaceful retreat amidst the stunning Bay of Plenty region, which is renowned for its cultural, historical, and natural beauty.

With activities and attractions, a stone’s throw away, this is the very best of all worlds and the experience is yours for the taking. If you are driving from Hamilton in the north or Taupo in the south it is just over an hour 1 and only 2.5 hrs from Auckland.

A PurePod stay is a truly unique off grid experience. Ensconced in a luxury glass cabin, complete with glass roof, and three walls all of glass with big wide sliding doors and decking, you get to truly immerse yourself in the beautiful natural environment surrounding the PurePod. And, for stargazers, the glass roof and the lack of light pollution ensures on clear nights there are plenty of stars to view. A telescope and star map are provided, so even novice star gazers can have fun identifying the stars.

Included in your PurePod also is a kitchenette with gas hob, cooking utensils, pots, pans, fridge, cooking oil, salt, pepper, tea, coffee, sugar and fresh drinking water.
