Ōkura is a small village on the south shore of the Okura River,[4] on the opposite shore to the Okura Bush Scenic Reserve. It is the only location that provides access to the Okura River in the form of basic launching facilities for small craft.
The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "place of red (clay)" for Ōkura.[5]
