Beautiful outlook and relaxing and quiet location. Good communication, great welcome and friendly hosts.
Loved Deb & Don they were so friendly even say goodbye before we checked out. The place was private,nice, clean and quiet. Our parents loved it so much.
Nothing, Everything was nice!! It’s worth it!
Un lieu merveilleux et des hôtes qui le sont tout autant. D’abord un mot sur les propriétaires Don et Deborah qui nous ont chaleureusement accueilli comme de vieux amis. Don a même offert à mes amis une balade dans sa voiture de collection. Le lieu est entouré de verdure, paisible, calme et plein de sérénité. La maison est d’une propreté irréprochable, confortable et bien équipé. Il y a deux chambres et un grand salon cuisine. Il est possible de nettoyer du linge. Vraiment une très belle destination à recommander à 200%.
Rien du tout.

Wonderful hospitality from our hosts who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, comfortable and memorable.
It was perfect
主人的熱情各種關照、環境優美漂亮、室內寬闊溫馨非常舒適。只可惜只安排住宿兩夜。希望能再安排來長住
沒有任何𣎴滿意,只是booking網上所登訊息太保守,會使您錯過此優質的選擇
Omgivelserne både inde og ude var i top.
Intet negativt at bemærke
Everything, it was an amazing home in a beautiful location. The hosts went out of their way to ensure that we had a memorable experience. They drove us around the area in their classic car, which was an experience in itself and they took their time to drive us to locations in the area. They also ensured that we had everything we need to make our stay very comfortable and enjoyable.
There is nothing that we would change about the property.
The property was wonderful, quiet, beautiful "country" setting. The hosts, Deb and Don, were wonderful as well. We had SUCH a nice time!! Water pressure was great, total privacy, the beds were comfy, it was quiet and dark in the rooms, which made for comfortable sleep.
The lighting was a bit bright in the rooms. I suggest considering dimmer switches for the wall switches. This would help soften the brightness level. We tried to use the lamps rather than the recessed lighting operated by the wall switches.
This was probably the best property that we have stayed in during our visit to New Zealand. Everything was as near perfect as it could be and nothing was too much trouble for our hosts Deb and Don . We will certainly book in again should our travels find us in this area in the future.
It was so peaceful and serene - waking up to birds singing every morning made for a restful experience. The surrounding views and landscape are beautiful! And the hosts are the sweetest, most wonderful people! We loved our stay here!
The wifi would occasionally disconnect, or had trouble connecting, if we were in the living room/dining room area, but worked well in the bedrooms.
Everything. The place was sparkly clean and well-presented. Don and Debby made our stay even more lovely. It has a beautiful view and seems isolated, but everything you need is within a 10-minute drive. We loved every part of our stay!
Nothing really. One of the beds was softer than the other, so we had to move rooms after one night of sleep, as my husband gets back pain on the softer bed.
オーナーのお二人がとても親切で優しく、遠い場所にいながらも我が家のように寛ぎ、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。必要なものは全て揃っていて清潔で、庭も美しく、また機会があれば是非伺いたいです。

Hosts were so wonderful. Truly was a beautiful tranquil setting. We will definitely be rebooking. Thank you so much for having us. 🧡😊
The property is secluded and rural with beautiful view of the river but still a short distance to shops, restaurants and beaches. The house is clean and spacious with comfortable rooms and is thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need. Our friendly and helpful hosts, Don and Debbie who love and looks after their property very well. They are very kind and helpful and went out of their way to make us feel at home.

Beautiful accommodation both inside and out. Hosts are so friendly and welcoming. Amazing stay and would come back in a heartbeat!
We had a wonderful stay! Deb and Don are fantastic hosts – warm, welcoming, and attentive. The house is spotlessly clean and thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need. It’s clear that a lot of care has gone into creating a great guest experience. The surrounding scenery is stunning, just as pictured. We would highly recommend Ōkura River Estate to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway that still feels like home.
None. All good!

The staff were so lovely, they felt like family. The house was extremely high standards and the beds were extremely comfortable! We loved our stay.
The Tv didn't seem to connect to the internet
Superb! One of the best properties we have stayed at in New Zealand. The place was immaculate, spacious and very well equipped with everything we could possibly need and more. Deb and Don were very kind and generous hosts. The views were stunning and the location perfect. Highly recommended and cant wait to go back again.
I cannot think of anything that would have improved our stay, it was perfect.

The wonderful friendly hosts. The huge space and gardens. Birdlike Perfect and recommend this establishment
Nothing
The location of the property is great as with easy access to roads and motorway within the Auckland region, but quiet and pretty drive up to property and then afforded beautiful vistas all round of Okura River and reserve from a huge well maintained and stocked garden. Even had use of canoes onto the river from the bottom of the garden. The house itself felt like home from home, with all the comforts and amenities required. Great bathroom areas and extremely comfortable bed. Deb & Don are lovely hosts and attentive to meet your needs.

My husband and I stayed at Okura River Estate for 3 nights. Everything about this property is 10/10: location, facilities, condition and very friendly hosts. We have booked last minute and were lucky that property was vacant for the duration of our intended stay and that hosts kindly welcomed us in such short notice. Property has everything you need to feel like home. Two beautiful bedrooms with ensuites, comfortable beds and showers with good pressure. Kitchen is super equipped so you can cook your meals, bbq also provided. We have also enjoyed relaxing on the couches watching TV after dinner. Outdoor area is well organised with furniture allowing you to relax and just unwind listening to wind and birds. Greenest grass and river view. Even drive to the house is very beautiful! We absolutely enjoyed staying and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic stay in the close proximity to Auckland and beautiful beaches. Thank you Deb and Don for your wonderful hospitality and allowing us to stay at your property.

Overall vibe of a country estate set in the middle of a nature reserve. Wonderful views across the valley. Amazing sights and sounds of bird life. Our accommodation was top class with everything provided for a relaxed stay. Our hosts went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable.
Road access is down a country lane that’s seen better days.
Lovely property, very spacious and clean. So quiet and lots of bird life.
Nothing everything was great.
Everything was just perfect. Deb and Don have gone the extra mile to make the place welcoming, comfortable and delightful. It is only 20 minutes drive from the CBD, but it is a world away. We've loved the stay and hope to return another time. Thank you Deb and Don for everything you did to make our holiday stay a most enjoyable experience.
Absolutely nothing.
I'm very happy to stay at this luxurious, spacious, and lovely house. If I have the opportunity to visit Auckland, I'd like to stay at this lovely house again.
Rural location , pristine and beautiful property, comfortable bed, full kitchen, lots of space, and lastly… very friendly and gracious hosts (owners).
GPS had difficulty locating address.
Everything about this accommodation is amazing, from the views to the comfort, cleanliness and property owners. We will definitely go back. Absolutely no complaints. The best place we have stayed. The bed was the most comfortable I have slept in.
There is nothing we didn't like.

Everything - rom amazing location to extremely friendly accommodating hosts Deb & Don. Best place I have ever stayed.
Nothing. Everything was great
Everything, from the chocolates, biscuits, fresh milk to the beautiful location, friendly hosts and local information. Gorgeous rural setting, so close to the beaches and about 30 minutes from Auckland. Certainly excellent value for money too.
