Tāima PurePod

Perched majestically in Cromwell, Central Otago, Tāima PurePod sits just one hour drive from Queenstown and Wānaka, offering one of the region's most captivating vantage points. From your glass sanctuary, the rugged Kawarau Gorge and dramatic mountain landscape unfold before you. A living painting that shifts with each passing hour.

Your glass-enclosed retreat provides front-row seats to Central Otago's legendary sunsets as mountains transform from stark silhouettes to golden monuments. For the adventurous, the world-famous Lake Dunstan Trail awaits just moments away, beckoning you to explore further.

The Journey

Follow a gentle 300m nature trail to reach your secluded hideaway, walking the same paths once used by gold miners for sluicing their precious finds. At 350m above sea level, Tāima often floats above the clouds, creating the sensation of ascending into another world entirely.

Solitude Perfected

Privacy isn't just a feature at Tāima - it's guaranteed. Watch as changing light transforms the landscape throughout the day, culminating in golden-hour sunsets that set the mountains ablaze. After dark, the celestial show begins, with stars crystallizing across the night sky. Grab the provided telescope to locate the Southern Cross among the stellar display.

Beyond Your Glass Walls

Should you choose to venture beyond your luxurious haven, Cromwell and Central Otago offer endless possibilities. The celebrated Lake Dunstan Trail reveals both engineering marvels and rich cultural heritage from Māori and early pioneer times.

Extend your stay to sample award-winning local cuisine and internationally acclaimed wines, or book the Clutha River Heritage Cruise for a different perspective on this historic region.

Or perhaps simply stretch out on your private deck with a glass of local wine, embracing the profound silence that only complete isolation can provide.

Everything Thoughtfully Provided
