Experience Okoro Villa

Okoro Villa opens directly onto sweeping sea views across the landscaped lawn & infinity pool, offering multiple outdoor dining and relaxation spaces and spectacular sunsets.

Tucked away on the hillside, an exquisite and thoughtfully designed terrace reveals itself with an additional plunge pool, cedar hot tub and sauna nestled in the trees with glimpses of the ocean.

Framed by an expansive native bush setting the Okoro Villa experience extends to walking trails, birdwatching, nearby water sports and infinite spectacular activities accessible directly by helicopter from the onsite helipad.

Explore by helicopter

Okoro Villa has the enviable and convenient amenity of a helipad adjacent to the residence.

Perfect for exclusive transfers from and to the next stop on your New Zealand itinerary or as a spectacular option for exploring the Nelson Tasman region by air.

Guided Fishing

The remote, gin clear waters of the Nelson region offer some of the best fly fishing in New Zealand for wild rainbow and brown trout. Okoro Villa offers full and half day drive or fly out (helifishing) packages with professional experienced guides. South Island river fishing opens at the beginning of October and runs through to the end of April.

Diving & Deep Sea Fishing

The Tasman region is famous for its natural beauty and exclusive private charters inclusive of guides, experienced crew and equipment can be reserved for fishing and diving trips exploring the coastal waters off Nelson, D’Urville Island, Tasman Bay, and the Abel Tasman National Park. Blue cod, groper, snapper, and kingfish are the most common types of fish to target.

For Foodies

Enjoy a colourful morning at Nelson’s Saturday Market. Accompany Okoro Villa’s private chef and rub shoulders with the Nelson locals. The market showcases the best of Nelson’s produce and the eclectic arts and crafts on sale.
