Manakau PurePod
Details
Check In: 15:00|Check Out: 11:45
20 minutes inland from Kaikōura (2.5 hours north of Christchurch), located in the midst of a beautifully isolated sheep farm with perfect views of the mighty Seaward Kaikōura Mountain Range (including Mt Manakau).
Driving to the Manakau PurePod carpark is the start of your unique PurePod adventure as you ford small streams on your way to the secure carpark near the farmhouse.
Leave your large luggage items in your locked car (it will be safe) then follow the 900m walking track past the sheep in the nearby paddocks and through groves of manuka & kanuka trees on your way up to the PurePod.
The PurePod has all the facilities you require including a fabulous shower, flush toilet, crisp linen, cooking and eating equipment including a cooktop and barbecue, tea coffee and milk; as well as an assortment of games, local reference books, a telescope and a whole lot of nothing to do! So sit back, relax in the luxury camp chairs out on the deck, or laze about in the super comfortable bed and watch nature put on a show.
"Out of this world. This was by far the best experience we had in NZ! From the uninterrupted views, to freely roaming sheep to the perfectly & thoughtfully built glass house. To top it all - we got a chance to see a double rainbow." Dhruv, India

The beginning of this track follows the fence line of a paddock before entering a grove of kanuka trees. After crossing a small bridge the track splits off to the left and after going up a few steps you emerge above the tree-line into a grassy paddock for your first glimpse of the Manakau PurePod then it’s a final wee push up across the paddock to the PurePod.
