PurePods prides itself on creating "an unforgettable New Zealand experience" by giving travelers the chance to immerse themselves in the country by staying in a glass pod shelter.
Since the pods are primarily made of glass—including the walls and ceilings—they offer unparalleled views of the surrounding environment. The inside of the pods are styled as single bedroom spaces that are complete with a small kitchen, dining are and a bathroom. These pods are located just outside of Christchurch, in three picturesque destinations such as Little River and Manakau.
These sustainable pods are suited for use year-round; when the weather permits, the sliding doors on the pods can be opened, or in the winter, the small space can be heated with a bio fuel fire.
