Architectural Mountain Eco Pod

The Pod is a brand new, architecturally designed, ecologically sustainable rural luxury retreat for two. Nestled on a rural acreage in the rugged Blue Mountains between Hartley and Lithgow, this stunning studio has sweeping views of the majestic Hassans Walls. Just the place to relax, unwind and recharge.

The Pod was conceived by an ideal - to create a place where people can renew their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being simply by being close to nature. The Pod is in the valley below Hassans Walls, the highest lookout in the Blue Mountains at approximately 1100 metres above sea level.

The rural landscape is characterised by rounded hills, livestock pastures and native forests. A dam that is located on the property is a local watering hole for wildlife including kangaroos, wombats, ducks and livestock from adjoining properties.

The rugged natural setting belies the luxury of The Pod. Tastefully designed and equipped with all the modern conveniences, you can choose to just hide away. The kitchen is fully equipped including oven, cooktop, and microwave. Alternatively, the town of Lithgow is only 10 minutes away by car with a small selection of old-world and modern cafes and take away restaurants.

If you wish to explore beyond this idyllic retreat there is lots to keep you busy. Visit Jenolan Caves, Hassans Walls Lookout, Lake Lyell, historic town of Rydal, Tarana Pub, Glow Worm Tunnel, Mayfield Gardens and numerous bush walks throughout the Upper Blue Mountains region.

The Pod is air-conditioned and has an amazing slow combustion wood fireplace. Free to air TV is available via a high-quality satellite link as well as Netflix through a 4G wireless modem. Rainwater passes a dual filtration and purification system including ultraviolet treatment that is completely eco-friendly and chemical-free.
