Reviews

It was so nice to wake up here for a couple of days. So different to where the typical traveler would usually stay. Hosts were great and insightful on local attractions and so much more! Not your standard hosts for sure!

This is the perfect place to stay to experience the tranquil lifestyle of the region ... There is no charging electronics in the caravans, but you can leave your gadgets and batteries in the office. You certainly won't miss them with the serene beauty surrounding you! Be sure to stare up at the skies at night and wake up for the sunrise throwing its golden glow over their pasture and watch the sheep stir from their slumber. We had to leave too early in the morning to say thank you, but I hope to go back someday in the near future!



About your host, Lois

Lois's Photo


The name of the farm, Okopako, means 'the place where you hear the sound of the running water', and is the name of one of the streams that run through the farm.

Okopako (the farm) has been in the King family for about 105 years since Horace King (grandfather of current owner Nils) purchased the property in circa 1910. Horace and his family cleared the land and milled timber using a steam-powered sawmill (The mill was in use up until the early 1950s). From 1920 to 1970 the sons and their families had a small herd of 20-30 dairy cows, which they milked by hand. One son, Gordon (aka Monty), kept bullock teams of 6 pairs for hauling out the logs.

Current owners Nils and Lois (and family) have lived on the farm since early 1981. They established Okopako Pony Trekking in 1985, and this business ran until 2007. The Lodge opened in December 1993 and is situated on the 131-hectare farm about 150 metres above sea-level. Over half of the farm (about 90 hectares) is in native kauri forest, where you can find large Kauri, Rimu, and Tanekaha amongst the regrowth bush.
