Okoro Villa is a soul-stirring sanctuary where barefoot luxury meets the wild beauty of New Zealand’s South Island, offering a deeply personal escape in one of the world’s most extraordinary settings.

Tucked away on a private 126-acre estate just 10 minutes from Nelson, the villa offers a rare kind of luxury — one where nature takes centre stage and every detail is thoughtfully taken care of.

Whether you’re booking the entire villa or reserving individual suites for a romantic retreat, Okoro Villa provides flexible, elevated living with breathtaking views over Tasman Bay and Abel Tasman National Park.

Every corner invites you to unwind and connect with nature — from the cedar hot tub nestled in the forest to the traditional sauna, plunge pool, and peaceful contemplation pond. Stay in one of four suites, including the whimsical Treehouse suite, and enjoy outdoor spaces perfect for al fresco dining, morning yoga, or simply watching native birdlife while sipping a glass of local wine.

With a private chef to prepare breakfast and dinner, you’ll experience the finest regional flavours without lifting a finger. And when you're ready to explore, you're perfectly placed to kayak in Abel Tasman, taste wine in Marlborough, or browse Nelson’s charming boutiques and galleries — it’s all within easy reach.

Okoro Suite 

For couples, the Okoro Suite provides a spacious haven featuring a super king bed, a private lounge area, a large walk-in wardrobe, and a generous ensuite bathroom complete with a spa bath. Plus, wake up to panoramic sea and mountain views from this suite. 

Sleeps: 2 guests 

 

The Treehouse

The Treehouse offers a unique experience, perched among native Kanuka trees and overlooking the orchard. This standalone suite includes a super king bed, which can be divided into two singles bed, an ensuite bathroom, a writing alcove, an expansive walk-in wardrobe and a private furnished deck with sea views. 

Sleeps: 2 guests 

 

Suites  

Suite Two and Suite Three each feature super king beds, lounge areas, and share a spacious bathroom.

Each suite sleeps: 2 guests

 

Entire Villa 

For larger groups, the entire villa can be reserved exclusively, accommodating up to eight guests across the Okoro Suite, the Treehouse, and two additional suites. 

Sleeps: 8 guests

The facilities at Okoro Villa are nothing short of exceptional — thoughtfully designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and truly unwind. Step outside and you’ll find a solar-heated infinity pool, a cedar hot tub, a traditional sauna, and a cool plunge pool, all tucked among native bush and the soothing soundtrack of birdsong.

Indoors, there’s space to stretch out and relax, with cosy lounges, a media room for movie nights, and a pantry stocked with basic provisions including tea and barista coffee. And when mealtimes roll around, leave the cooking to the villa’s private chef, who creates delicious, locally inspired dishes tailored just for you.

Dotted across the property are quiet corners made for soaking up the views: sunny terraces for al fresco dining, a peaceful contemplation pond, and winding trails right on your doorstep for walking or mountain biking. And when you’re ready to explore further afield, the villa’s private helipad means scenic flights to the Abel Tasman National Park or the Marlborough Sounds — with hidden beaches and vineyard lunches — are just moments away.

Best of all, the little details are taken care of — from daily housekeeping to a warm, attentive concierge—so you can focus on what matters: simply being here.

With sweeping views across Tasman Bay to Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks, Okoro Villa is the perfect base for adventure, relaxation, and everything in between.

Start your day paddleboarding in the gentle shallows of Tahunanui Beach or take to the golden coastline of Abel Tasman National Park on a guided kayaking trip. If you prefer to stay on land, walk the stunning Anchorage track or tackle world-class mountain biking trails at Wairoa Gorge, with expert guidance and premium gear included.

For something truly special, take off from the villa’s private helipad on a heli-tour to the Marlborough Sounds, remote alpine lakes, or local vineyards. Or for a slower pace, sip your way through local vintages at Rimu Wine Bar in charming Mapua.

Food lovers can join the private chef on a visit to Nelson’s vibrant Saturday Market, handpicking the freshest local produce before returning to enjoy a personalised feast in the comfort of your villa. Add a touch of wellness — yoga, meditation, or forest bathing in the surrounding native bush — and you’ve got a seriously enriching adventure on New Zealand's South Island . 

Perched on a 126-acre estate overlooking Tasman Bay and the Abel Tasman coastline, Okoro Villa is just 20 minutes away from Nelson Airport. It's also perfectly placed for exploring the charming town of Nelson, the Marlborough Sounds, and the Marlborough and Nelson wine regions.
