Reserve an unforgettable culinary experience
Elevate a New Zealand vacation to a whole new level of luxury at Nelson’s Okoro Villa.
This new all-inclusive stay is home to resident Executive Chef, Michael McMeeken.
Renown as one of New Zealand’s premier chefs, Chef Michael brings guests an exclusive dining experience that captures the true essence of the Nelson region.
Each day, Chef Michael curates a fresh menu inspired by the celebrated flavours of the area, with bold, creative pairings of local wines and artisanal spirits. He crafts each dish with ingredients sourced right from Okoro Villa’s own kitchen gardens and heritage orchard, along with sustainably caught seafood.
This extraordinary dining experience unfolds in an equally unforgettable setting, perched high above Tasman Bay, where every meal is paired with breath taking panoramic views.
