Okoro Villa

Okoro Villa is an exclusive luxury residence set on a private 126-acre property in the Nelson region of New Zealand's South Island. The villa sits elevated in a tranquil valley setting, just ten minutes from Nelson township and twenty minutes from Nelson Airport, offering guests a secluded retreat with sweeping views across Tasman Bay towards Abel Tasman National Park. The property's hidden entrance leads up a winding driveway through abundant native bird life, creating a sense of arrival to somewhere truly special and discrete.

Accommodation is available as an exclusive residence for up to eight guests, or two separate suites—The Okoro Suite and The Treehouse—each accommodating two guests. The interiors are designed around natural earth tones and textures, creating spaces infused with warmth and tranquillity. Common areas include a spectacular living space with unparalleled views, and the property features a heated infinity pool positioned to capture spectacular sunsets, alongside multiple outdoor dining and relaxation areas.

Every stay includes the culinary services of the resident private chef, who creates fresh, bespoke menus using regional produce and seafood from the Nelson area. The chef works to guests' preferences, delivering destination-quality dining experiences throughout their time at the villa. Beyond dining, guests enjoy curated wellness experiences including massage, yoga and nature immersion, along with on-site facilities such as a traditional sauna, plunge pool, cedar hot tub and outdoor shower.

Okoro suits guests seeking an elevated retreat experience—whether for family gatherings, corporate retreats or destination stays within a broader New Zealand itinerary. The combination of privacy, natural beauty, exceptional hospitality and inclusive culinary experiences creates an environment for reconnection and rejuvenation in thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor spaces.
