About this property

Pods Retreat with friendly farm animals, Pod Retreat, with outdoor bath and farm pets.

Relax and unwind at this unique and tranquil getaway. Nestled below the Pāpāmoa Hills, with a lovely country outlook, plenty of privacy and outdoor space & only a short drive to the beach or cafes, our cosy pods are the break away you’ve been looking for! Glamping but close enough to enjoy fantastic restaurants and all that the Bay of Plenty has to offer!

Situated on our lifestyle block, with access to the beautiful Papamoa Hills walk & only a 7 minute drive from stunning Papamoa Beach! Enjoy the newly installed outdoor bath, complete with fairy lights, plumbed hot/cold water and the most incredible nightsky for star gazing! Cosy up in front of the firepit, roast marshmellows and listen to ruru at night! By day, relax in the beanbags under the umbrella or enjoy the company of our hilarious farm pets!

We have a number of special farm pets that we have had from the age of 1-7days old. They were all bottle fed initially so adore people, and the goats (Mara and Wednesday) definitely act more like dogs than your average goat, preferring nothing better than to follow you around all day! Rosie and Piglet are our pet jersey cows and love a scratch under the chin or a neck rub. Larry and Emily answer their names and then of course there are the pet flemish giant rabbits (Ivy and Mr Chips) who love to be handfed and our freerange hens who provide us with eggs.

This is indeed the perfect couples escape or family break away! For those that are actively minded, the papamoa hills walk is stunning at sunset or sunrise and a good cardio workout as well!
