About this property
Family Retreat with Stunning Ocean Views, Surrounded by Native Bush & Bird Song
OkiOki is our family home, a place where peace and tranquility abound. We cherish the serenity this home offers - there’s nothing quite like coming back after a long day, stepping onto the deck that overlooks a beautiful native bush valley, and letting the stresses of the day melt away as the beauty and bird song wash over you, renewing your spirit. Our wish is that during your stay, you'll find the time to pause, take a breath, and truly rest (okioki).
A perfect day at OkiOki starts with a barista coffee brewed in the kitchen and finishes with wine and cheese on the deck then falling into a ridiculously comfortable bed. Everything you need for the hours in between is on hand. Comfortable couches for reflection and relaxation, smart TV's, games, books, and a wide range of kitchen utilities if you feel the need to whip up a gourmet meal or pull together mum's chocolate cake recipe.
A holiday in Papamoa offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, making it an ideal getaway for anyone looking to unwind and explore. With its stunning, expansive beach (10 minute drive), Papamoa invites you to slow down and soak up the sun, whether you're lounging on the sand, taking a leisurely swim, or catching some waves. The natural beauty of the area, with its golden sands and crystal-clear waters, sets the stage for a peaceful retreat where the stress of everyday life simply melts away.
Beyond the beach, Papamoa is surrounded by lush landscapes and scenic trails that are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. The nearby Papamoa Hills Regional Park (10 minute drive) offers breathtaking views of the Bay of Plenty from its summit, rewarding hikers with a serene escape into nature.
Papamoa’s laid-back atmosphere, combined with the friendly locals, creates a warm and inviting environment that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, a holiday in Papamoa is sure to leave you
refreshed and rejuvenated.
