Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari

Went here with my mum in summer. It was such an awesome experience, we got to get quite close to some kakapo and we got to see some native freshwater crayfish! The walk as well was really cool and nicely laid out, and the staff at the info centre were super friendly and informative!

Spent a very pleasant afternoon here recently. Easy to follow tracks and lots of bird life. Often activities on for the kids. The predator proof fence is amazing and the volunteers are very friendly

Absolutely stunning sanctuary with abundant birdlife. incredible trees and feels like walking in the past. a gr3at place to take the family and for people to enjoy of all ages

Visited the sanctuary today. It was amazing! I saw Tomtits, Tui, Saddle backs, heard a Kokako, saw wood pigeons and so many more. The size of the forest is amazing here. After finishing my walk, I went into the visitor centre. The lady there was so friendly and full of knowledge. Bought a beautiful Kokako T'shirt with a large portion of the proceeds going back into keeping the sanctuary going. Everyone should visit here!

Relaxing peaceful bush walk. Loved climbing the tower to be in amongst the treetops and see the forest from up there. Loved the feeding area where you can see some beautiful native birds swoop in above your head.
