From the owner

The Greystone PurePod is set high above the award-winning Greystone vineyard, less than an hour north of Christchurch, right in the heart of the Waipara Valley wine producing region.

Every day nature puts on a show and you are invited to participate in a way that even when the doors are shut you are not shut out. Your PurePod is total surround glass – that's right even the roof! At night you sleep with the Southern Cross and millions of other stars, by day you are surrounded by dramatic natural landscapes. Relax, let nature refuel your soul.

PurePods are designed to ensure that you experience nature's show vividly, utilising all of your senses whilst remaining sheltered in luxury. The effect is incredible. The stress of life disappears, the wonder at nature’s power and subtlety reconnects us with ourselves – and our partners.

What is the experience like?

On a hot day you can pull back the sliding doors on all three glassed sides, turn up the shade on the ceiling blinds and indulge the privacy. If its cold you are totally insulated, the heating system is keeping you warm but you can see the rain or snow falling all around you, experience the sounds and marvel at nature.

Environmentally friendly

To build the worlds most environmentally transparent building takes more than simply using glass for roofing and walls. It involves using sustainable energy wherever possible, minimising the use of non-renewable energy sources, using local water and returning the water to the local area just as clean as it came to us.

Rainwater that falls on the roof is returned to water the local plants. Waste is cleaned as naturally as possible, organic cleaners are used exclusively.

We’re passionate about sharing the best possible experience of Pure New Zealand possible and we’re passionate about keeping New Zealand pure.

    House rules

    Not suitable for pets or children and strictly no smoking.

    All PurePod guests must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 (or have an official exemption issued by the Ministry of Health). While the PurePod experience is a low risk activity (as you are unlikely to meet any other humans once you leave the PurePod carpark and start the short walk to the PurePod), we do need to ensure our cleaning teams aren’t put at unnecessary risk. Thank you for your understanding.

    Kia ora, thank you for sharing your thoughts and for the chat on the phone last week. As I mentioned, the noise was an unforeseeable technical issue with our alarm system, this is now all sorted. This isn't the peaceful, luxurious experience wanted you to have and would love to offer you another PurePods stay to make up for it. I will continue to chat to you directly to lock in your stay.
