Magical place not to be missed!

Review of Okuti Garden
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 28 Nov 2016via mobile
So sad that we only found this on or last night - though fortunate as we may never have left! If you want a truly magical NZ experience where you feel a hobbit might pop up at any minute searching for a ring, then this is it! Scenery is phenomenal, accommodation is such fun and the owners made us feel really welcome. We cannot recommend this highly enough! Thank you so much for a truly memorable experience! X

I came here with my best friend for my birthday this year and loved every second of it. Beautiful piece of land, cute and friendly pets and total relaxation. We stayed in the lower yurt and it was amazing. Super comfortable, it felt as if you were in a hotel room. Although it didn't have power, there are plenty of tealights supplied that create a great ambience. Really welcoming people who run the place as well, happy to give you a tour if you wanted. The outdoor kitchen was a lovely touch, had all the facilities needed to make ourselves dinner and eat outside while enjoying the great views of the surrounding mountains. Highly recommend checking this place out! I can't wait to come back.

Josh and I spent a wonderful weekend at this beautiful property. So tranquil. Janie and her family were the perfect hosts and we look forward to visiting again very soon. The property is operating on self sufficiency with vegetable gardens, fruit,nut trees, composting toilet and solar heated shower (although there is a hot water shower available for those wanting) The yurts, teepee and house truck all add to the alternative flavour of this homestay.

We had such a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing stay in this beautiful garden. We didn't want to leave! Everything was perfect from the warm friendly hosts, to the comfortable secluded yurt, to the amazing massage. It was lovely to sit and read under the trees with a cup of tea and the sounds of the birds and cicadas. We also loved having a candle-lit dinner in the outdoor kitchen. We couldn't recommend it enough!

My partner and I stayed here one Saturday night just before they took the tipis etc down for the winter. We had a yurt and it was the most amazing relaxing experience. We got there in the dark and couldn't see where to go so we had to drive back out towards Little River to get reception to call them and get them to meet us at the carpark. Probably could be a bit more signposted for this reason. Then once we got inside it was perfect. It started raining during the night but with the hardwood floor and plenty of blankets provided it just added to the experience. Next time we will stay in the tipi! We wil be back.

Allways looking for those places. Lovely garden, cute donkeys, sheeps running around. Little boat on a pond, very romantic. Open kitchen with barbeque. Solar-shower with nice open view on the garden, that gets very hot too.
We stayed in a yurte and had excellent sleep. Got invitation to a party next day with live music. Lovely and kind people. Definitely worth to stay here.
Had a massage as well. Very relaxing. Magic hands.
Lots of possibilities around for daytrips.
