Atatū PurePod

Stunning Views

Every direction you look there are stunning views, from the rolling hills dotted with sheep, to the snow-capped mountain views out the bathroom window, to the endless sea views – imagine how magical it is to wake up to the sun rising out of the water right in front of you!

Scenic Drive

Your journey to the Atatū PurePod starts with a scenic drive through a beautiful and historic farming area.

Take your time and enjoy the scenery, which switches from rolling farmland to forest and back to farmland again. If you are lucky you might even get to see a cow or two wandering right beside the road or meet the local farmer moving a mob of sheep along the road.

After about 25 minutes you will reach the PurePod carpark. Leave your large luggage items in your locked car (it will be safe) then follow the walking track as it firstly follows a farm track before gently winding its way up through the native bush.

The walk is just under 750m and will take you around 15 minutes (or a little longer depending on how many times you stop for photos). Depending on the time of year, you may get to see lambs frolicking in the nearby paddock as you walk along the farm track. As you turn off into the native bush section of the walk keep an ear out for all the birds, including bellbirds (korimako), fantails (piwakawaka) and the occasional rifleman (tītipounamu).

Perched on top of a small knoll

As you round the last corner you will see the Atatū PurePod for the first time, perched on top of a small knoll. Once you get up to the PurePod, take a moment to soak in all the breathtaking views, whichever direction you look, the views are fabulous, from farmland to the sweeping coastline.

Sit back, relax & soak in the views

Once you are at the PurePod, you can sit back, relax, soak in the views and enjoy a complete absence of people. Comfortable deck chairs are provided, as is the most comfortable bed we can find. The PurePod has all the facilities you require including a fabulous shower, flush toilet, crisp linen, cooking and eating equipment including a gas hob and barbeque, tea coffee and milk; as well as an assortment of games, local reference books, a telescope and a whole lot of nothing to do!
