How to magnify an already unforgettable experience

Mamaku Point partners with the 5-star PurePods to create opportunities for their conservation efforts and an outstanding exclusive experience for visitors to Rakiura Stewart Island.

Hananui and Tokoeka PurePods welcomed their first guests as of October 2022 are nestled within the wild that is the untouched region of Rakiura Stewart Island. Behind the predator-proof fence of the reserve amongst the majesty of the most southern Dark Sky Sanctuary this new venture is looking to provide not only income to further support conservation projects but a bucket list stay for all that seek it. They are perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the stunning skyscape views, turquoise sea and white sand beaches. Brimming with birdsong, wildlife and lush fauna these are just a few of the wonders in store for guests.

PurePods chief executive Stephanie Hassall says, "it has been hard to keep this one under our hats given it is such a unique and special location but we are thrilled to be able to support the conservation efforts of the Mamaku Point Trust."

Being located behind a predator-proof fence and with special red lighting that allows kiwi spotting at night from the deck or bed of the PurePods really is a phenomenal opportunity." And that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the flora and fauna right on your doorstep.

"Hananui PurePod has spectacular views across Lee Bay and spans out towards Hananui or Mount Anglem. Cocooned in the bush, surrounded by the cacophony of birdsong under skies is and experience like no other, our guests are in for a real treat," said Ms Hassall. 

Like the other PurePod locations, they are deliberately free of a wi-fi connection, private and environmentally friendly.

"Privacy is assured at the Rakiura PurePods due to them being tucked away behind the predator-proof fence," said Ms Hassall. 

Hananui and Tokoeka PurePods have minimal impact on the natural environment while offering a luxurious way to experience nature. The PurePod uses sustainable energy, minimising the use of non-renewable energy sources. Rainwater that falls on the roof is returned to the surrounding area to water the native plants.
