REVIEWS

We have already been guests in many locations in the “luxury” category, but the Okoro Villa puts everything we have experienced before in the shade. The villa is simply a dream. The staff is also focused on the guests of the villa and tries to anticipate their every wish. The food from the private chef is at a level of 3 Michelin stars and you will be surprised with culinary highlights every day.
If you want to treat yourself and your family to something absolutely extraordinary, then do everything right by booking the Okoro Villa.

Exceptional!
Mother Earth’s beauty was everywhere you looked, a spectacular backdrop to the breathtaking views of the Tasman Sea.
From luxurious bedding to captivating art work, to the inspirational quotes left on our pillows at night, the attention to detail was impeccable. To top it off, charming and oh so accommodating Chef Michael gets an A plus rating hands-down! Every meal was a work of art and the flavors burst from each bite.
What a memorable way to end a magical and exceptional time in New Zealand.”
