Visit and Experience our Maunga
Welcome to an ancient world where our native forest towers majestically above you. Listen as the air is filled with birdsong. Breathe the life force of the ngahere (forest) that surrounds you. Enjoy a variety of well-maintained hikes and bush walks around our eco-sanctuary, take a guided walking tour or a nature walk and discover why Aotearoa/New Zealand's largest predator fenced eco-sanctuary is nationally cherished and internationally recognised.
