Kaikōura PurePod & Whale Getaway

Enjoy a 3 night stay in a Kaikoura PurePod with vast views across to the mighty Seaward Kaikōura Mountain Range, just 20 minutes inland from Kaikōura. The Kahutara and Manakau Purepods are both located in a tranquil setting high up in the foothills, surrounded by native forest and with excellent views of the mighty Southern Alps.

A Kaikoura PurePod stay is like no other 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.

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

Experience the beauty and wonder of Kaikōura’s marine wildlife from above, with the once in a lifetime whale watching experience. Take in the best views as you slowly orbit around natures largest animals. Experience views from above of sperm whales and visiting whale species such as humpback whales, blue whales , southern right whales, long-finned pilot whales, and orca.

Adventure around Kaikōura’s beautiful coastal waters and take in the breath-taking views of sheer cliff faces, craggy rocks and mountain ranges while spotting seals and searching for chance encounters with dusky dolphins and blue penguins.
