Overleigh Eco-Pod | Cabin in Port Levy
1 Bedroom Cabin in Port Levy
Immaculate, brand-new pod (Nov 2025). Enjoy a "front-row" vista of the sea from the deck. Inside, everything is new, from the high-quality furnishings to the modern appliances and fittings. The location is a nature lover's dream, offering amazing birdlife—including bellbirds, wood pigeons, blue herons, and piwakawaka—literally right outside, often accompanied by the chorus of tree frogs. Located on a picturesque, working sheep and cattle farm, this is a truly memorable place to escape.
🌋 Your Unique Banks Peninsula Escape
A Breathtaking Location
Discover the dramatic beauty of Banks Peninsula, a landscape born from ancient volcanoes. This spectacular, unique topography plunges into the sea, forming the magnificent, fjord-like bays—and Port Levy is your captivating, private front-row view from the pod.
Rich History and Delightful Activities
Port Levy is steeped in history, once the second-largest Māori settlement in Canterbury. You can still feel the cultural pulse of the area, with a beautiful marae nestled just around the bay. Movie buffs will recognize the charming historic wharf, featured in the film Heavenly Creatures. It’s not just a landmark; it’s a perfect spot for an invigorating ocean swim! This hidden gem is just a quick 5-minute drive from your door.
Sustainable Comfort & Pristine Water
Experience the perfect blend of rugged nature and modern comfort. Starting in February, your pod will be powered by clean, abundant solar energy, ensuring your stay is both luxurious and environmentally conscious (with mains electricity as a seamless backup). Best of all, your water is sourced from a pure artesian spring right on the farm, flowing directly up from the vast Canterbury Plains—offering you the freshest, cleanest hydration possible.
Nature's Soundtrack and Sanctuary
Step into a tranquil oasis right outside your pod. The adjacent pond features established, stunning landscaping and is home to large, fascinating goldfish (if you catch them at the right moment!). More easily seen—and heard!—is the abundant and vibrant birdlife. Wake up to the sounds of nature, with everything from majestic Hawks and Herons to native Kererū and playful Pīwakawaka flitting through the trees.
