Ended up at Okuti Garden by mistake and am so glad that I did. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings and lovely hosts. There is a choice of yurts and teepees that are very comfortable and great areas to chill out. Very relaxing place.

Review of Okuti Garden
Reviewed 12 Feb 2018
This is not an average place for a wedding! The guests slept in yurts, a teepee or nearby B and Bs but the beautiful gardens and the ambience made this the most intimate, special wedding of all. Jim and Jane, who are the owners and live on site couldn’t have been more helpful. There are little spots dotted about with circles of trees and flowers. It was absolutely fabulous. It is certainly not your average venue but you would like a special place to stay to relax, this is lovely.
Date of stay: February 2018Room Tip: This is self catering and you can camp or sleep in a yurt so it is not a hotel

The yurts were very comfortable but a long way to the outhouse. Primitive but beautiful. the outdoor kitchen provided all we needed to prepare our meals. A central lodge had free internet. Had to search for the owners to pay them in the morning.

Perfect
Great value
Always to be remembered
We brought a group of 6 year 8 students for a final time together before going to high school.
From this trip we will always have great memories
I can only imagine the place to be perfect for weddings where the key people stay on in the acomodation after the proceedings

This is situated in a pretty spot in the Okuti Valley and this property definitely suits it surroundings. Amongst it are a few yurts and tipis which provided a unique experience. It's not luxurious so if you don't like going camping style then this may not be for you. There was enough room for two adults and two kids in the large yurt. Clean and comfy. It didn't get too cold in it. Hot water bottles provided. Bring warm clothes for the morning though. There is an outdoor kitchen with gas stoves and utensils. A common room with lots of games and toys and a log burner too. A trampoline and outdoor games, donkeys, pigs and the garden in general kept the kids amused for hours. The hosts were lovely and accommodating. There was a little shower unit outside which was fed by what looked like solar hot water but it only had warmish water. Quick showers! It wouldn't stop me from going back again because overall it was a beautiful and wholesome getaway for a couple of days.
