The main Otukou settlement is located on State Highway 46, on the south-eastern shore of Lake Rotoaira.

Okahukura Bush lies to the south, at the north end of the Tongariro Crossing.

Marae

Otūkou Marae, located west of the lake, is a meeting place of the local Ngāti Tūwharetoa hapū of Ngāti Hikairo. It includes the Okahukura meeting house.
