Description

THE HOUSE : ōku house is set for connection, reflection, and grounded living. The house features a spacious south-facing lounge with sea and mountain views, a fireplace, and plenty of room for group practices or shared meals. There's direct access to a large outdoor terrace, perfect for al fresco dining and stargazing around the firepit. The bedrooms are located at the back of the house and in the attic, offering a sense of privacy and seclusion away from the main social areas.

A bright 70 sqm converted garage serves as a multipurpose studio filled with natural light — ideal for movement sessions, workshops, or large group gatherings. Additional indoor amenities include a co-working - game open plan room, a communal guest bathroom, laundry room and a fully equipped kitchen with SMEG appliances.

GROUNDS: Amazing views - above the clouds when misty. Sea view at the horizon from main veranda.
Main wild garden (back of the house): Fruit trees, chill out spots, sun deck, sauna, ice tube and shower. Ideal for outdoor activites, star gazing and outdoor meals. Swimming pool is currently planned for this year.​
Forrest grouds: Winding beyond the house is the Forest Hill — a wild, peaceful area for hiking, meditation, and quiet time in nature. Tucked within is the Rock Shelter, a large rock formation and a master oak tree where ritual ceremonies and picnics can be set. Ideal for meditation, forrest bathing and nature based activities.

At ōku we love nature in its raw state - you0ll find our gardens to be mostly in their natural state (everchanging with the seasons)
