Pāmu PurePod
A private pause on the edge of Rotorua’s wild beauty.
Description
Verdant farmland, geothermal wonder, and total privacy on the edge of adventure.
Tucked into a quiet corner of a 350-acre working farm, Pāmu PurePod is a serene escape just 10 minutes from Rotorua’s bustling centre. With uninterrupted views over rolling green hills and birdsong all around, this is where stillness meets accessibility in one of New Zealand’s most iconic destinations.
Surrounded by geothermal valleys, shimmering lakes, and ancient forests, this is your base for both connection and exploration. Wake to soft morning light drifting over farmland, then decide whether to venture out - or stay in and savour the quiet.
The Journey
The walk to your PurePod is a gentle 5–10 minute stroll across grassy paddocks, around 420 metres from the secure parking area. As you wander up and over the hill, take in the wide-open views and deep breaths of fresh Bay of Plenty air. A small backpack makes the walk easier - leave everything else behind.
A Hidden Retreat on a Working Farm
While the farm carries on its day-to-day rhythm beyond the ridges, your PurePod remains tucked away and completely private. It’s a quiet corner of the countryside that feels entirely yours.
Step inside your glass cabin and settle into a space designed for simplicity, luxury, and uninterrupted views. Expect a supremely comfortable bed, a fabulous shower, a flush toilet, a kitchenette with BBQ and gas hob, and a telescope for stargazing. Games and books are on hand if the mood strikes. Otherwise, the land will do the talking.
Evenings are best spent with a glass of wine on the deck, watching the light shift across the hills and the sky fill with stars.
Explore Rotorua or Stay Still
Rotorua is just minutes away, with its blend of cultural richness, adrenaline activities, and natural wonders. Walk among the towering redwoods, unwind in geothermal pools, or visit the living Māori village of Whakarewarewa. There’s so much to see if you feel like going anywhere at all.
Many guests choose to stay close. And why not? With views like this and privacy like that, there’s no need to move unless you want to.
