Okoro Villa Nelson

Okoro Villa offers the height of luxury on the fringes of Nelson, in the Tasman region of New Zealand’s South Island. Set on a very private, elevated 126-acre property, it’s nestled into nature among abundant birdlife, just a 10-minute drive from the charming township of Nelson.

Sweeping views take in Tasman Bay and the coastline of Abel Tasman National Park. The peak of Mount Arthur and the often snow-capped ranges of Kahurangi National Park across the bay are framed perfectly from the villa.

The interiors are inspired by the natural tones, textures and colours of the earth, with a Scandinavian Contemporary and Mid-Century influence. They have a warmth that brings tranquillity and calm, and a refined, understated style from the moment you arrive. The living area has unparalleled views, and the fully equipped kitchen has a natural stone island. There’s a media room, an office or study space with business amenities, and a Sonos surround sound system. An outdoor deck and seating area look across the valley to the sea and mountains beyond.

Outside, you can unwind in the heated outdoor pool, the sauna and plunge pool, or the alpine cedar hot tub. There are multiple outdoor dining and living spaces, an outdoor barbecue and a helipad, and walking and biking trails start right at the property.

A resident chef is included with every stay, preparing breakfast and dinner daily from regional produce, with arrival refreshments and late-afternoon aperitifs and canapés. Menus are tailored to your dietary preferences and served indoors or out. A prepared lunch or picnic is available on request.
