We have so much to show you! Step through the pest-proof gate into another world where Aotearoa/New Zealand's ancient ngahere (forest) towers majestically above well-maintained walking tracks.
Stand still, breathe in the forest air and experience the life force of the maunga (mountain). Hear birdsong, feel the rustle of the wind through ancient trees and experience the energy of nature - it's all here, waiting for you. Come and explore Te Tui a Tane (Southern Enclosure) and enjoy a variety of hikes and bush walks around Aotearoa/New Zealand's largest pest proof fenced eco-sanctuary. Take a guided walking tour or explore by yourself by purchasing a day pass and get to truly appreciate what predator free New Zealand was like.
We have so many experiences that we want to share with you! Go on a treasure hunt, learn about herbal medicine, ramble the rata (loop) track, meditate, connect with the wonders of our ancient ngahere (forest). If you want to spot a takahe or a tuatara then come and join one of our guided tours in the Tautari wetlands and tuatarium.
