Hard to beat location, the Ōkato life: located along the Surf Highway in Taranaki, Ōkato is just a 24-minute drive around the coast to New Plymouth on State Highway 45 (or take the South Link Coastal Bus Service to New Plymouth: Mon - Fri, with two return trips a day). Ōkato is a small rural town with a big heart - where the pace is slow, but the spirit runs deep. Loved for its friendly, low-key coastal vibe, Ōkato also has rugby grounds, a bowls club, squash courts, and a swimming pool. Coastal Taranaki School is directly opposite, and you’ll be living in a tight-knit community full of character and warmth, within a wider setting of natural beauty, much loved conveniences, and more than its fair share of coffee carts. Ōakura is 12 km to the north-east, and Warea is 9 km to the south-west.
