Podlife Spaces

Rent A Pod

Need extra space without committing to a full purchase? Podlife offers a small selection of rental Pods in the Bay of Plenty, giving people a practical way to add room for living, working, or short-term change.

A simple way to add extra space

Renting a Pod can be a practical solution when extra space is needed quickly, but buying is not the right fit. It may suit a change in family living arrangements, a temporary housing need, or a situation where flexibility matters more than long-term ownership.

Our rental Pods are designed to keep the process straightforward. Once everything is approved, we deliver the Pod to your site and get it in place so you can start using the space. WINZ quotes can also be provided where needed.

"...became a home we loved.”


"When we suddenly found ourselves without a place to live and every rental option had fallen through, Podlife became our lifeline. Their rental pods gave us a safe, comfortable home at a time that was incredibly stressful and uncertain — and did so at a price we could actually afford. What began as an emergency solution quickly became a home we loved.

We rented two pods for three years before deciding to buy them, and the day we finally owned them outright was life-changing — we were free from rent for the first time. Since then, we’ve added a “mini pod” to complete our space, and it truly feels like ours now.

Throughout everything, the team at Podlife has been wonderful to deal with — understanding, responsive, and genuinely caring. We’ll always be grateful to Podlife for helping us find stability when we needed it most. Their homes are exceptional, but the people behind them are what make the difference."

How it works

Start by sending through an enquiry with the Pod size you need, your address, and a few basic details. From there, we work through the application, delivery checks, and references. If a WINZ quote is needed, we can provide that as part of the process.

Once everything is approved, we issue the lease agreement. When that is signed and the bond and advance payment have been received, we take over from there and arrange delivery.

What you need on site

The main requirement is clear site access. That means enough room for delivery, with no overhanging trees, powerlines, or other access issues. We always assess the site before delivery so there is clarity around what is needed.

What's included

The rental process is designed to be simple. Once approved, we deliver the Pod and provide a caravan lead for plug-in on delivery. If the Pod includes plumbing, it will still need to be connected to the relevant services on site. Curtain rails are included, but tenants will need to supply their own curtains.

Rental Pod Terms

  • Minimum term of 6 months
  • $500 bond
  • 2 weeks paid in advance
  • WINZ quotes available on request
