The main pod features a modern kitchen complete with a breakfast bar and island, flowing into a bright and comfortable living space with a heat pump, Sky TV, Netflix, and Bose surround sound for entertainment both indoors and outdoors. Sliding doors open to a spacious, sheltered deck with an outdoor dining table and chairs and peaceful rural views through glass balustrades—perfect for long summer dinners with your group. When the sun's out, the wrap-around deck offers both sun-drenched and sheltered spots to choose from. The second pod offers excellent flexibility for families and groups. It includes two queen bedrooms, plus a third bedroom with a single-over-double bunk and a separate twin bunk, making it ideal for adults and children alike. A portacot is available on request, and an outdoor shower adds to the easy, beach-ready living. Outside, there’s plenty of room for kids to play safely in the garden while adults unwind with a good book or soak up the coastal sunshine. It’s a quick five-minute walk to the beach, or a short five-minute drive to Tutukaka Marina, which offers waterfront dining and boat trips to the Poor Knights Islands—one of New Zealand’s top diving destinations. For adventures further north, Matapōuri is an easy 25-minute drive away. Whether you’re seeking underwater adventure or a peaceful coastal escape, The Pods is a laid-back yet luxurious way to spend your Tutukaka summer. Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

The Tutukaka coast incorporates Matapouri, Whale Bay, Sandy Bay and Ngunguru. These beautiful white sandy beaches are popular holiday spots for families. Tutukaka is the base for trips leaving for the Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve, and the Whangarei Deep Sea Angler's Club at Tutukaka holds a number of world records for offshore game fishing catches.
