I LOVED my stay at Okopako Lodge. The covered porch overlooking peaks, valleys, and Hokianga Harbor was perfect for a day of rest and reflection. Kristina's positive resilience to the difficulties after Cyclone Gabrielle was inspiring. Her friendliness and joy had me feeling like family instantly. She grew up on the mountain, left for several years and the land called her back. Revitalizing renovations are in progress and those already completed are great. I wish her complete success in fully materializing the rest of her vision.
