Eco-Sanctuary with Magical Bay Views in Oban, New Zealnd
Pod in Oban, South Island
2 guests • 1 bedroom • 1 bed • 1 bathroom
This property is nestled amongst lush native bush behind a predator-proof fence in an eco-sanctuary, full of birdlife, including kiwi, on the stunning Rakiura Stewart Island, part of the southern-most Dark Sky Reserve.
You will have beautiful views of the native bush surrounding you, as well as magical views down to the bay below. You will be treated to beautiful sunsets, star-gazing and waking to a gentle chorus of birdsong and sunlight reflecting off the water below. You will also have the opportunity for kiwi spotting, right from the comfort of the PurePod, thanks to the special red lighting.
4km from the township of Oban is the start of the 380m nature walk to the Pod – you’ll pass through the predator-proof fence so make sure to take note of the signage to ensure you do your part to ensure the safety of the bird life in the reserve.
Privacy is assured at the property. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be surrounded by birdsong and captivating natural scenery that make total relaxation a compelling prospect!
With no one nearby, you can sit back, relax and soak in the views and spectacular sunsets and keep a look out for kiwi.
If you are able to tear yourself away from the luxurious comforts the pod, there’s so much to enjoy on Rakiura, Stewart Island. Such as exploring the vast island by foot or water taxi, kayak or bike. The local quiz night is world famous, and if you want to meet the locals this is where they will be.
Of course, if such exploration is not quite what you desire, stretch out on the deck, enjoy a glass of wine and embrace the complete absence of people and traffic.
It has all the facilities you require including a fabulous shower, flush toilet, crisp linen, cooking and eating equipment including a gas hob 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.
You can either bring your own supplies or pre-order a delicious breakfast and dinner food hamper when you make your reservation.
Check-in is from 3pm (but please make sure you arrive in plenty of time to walk to the Pod before dark). Check-out is by 12 pm on the day of departure.
