See Kiwi chick this Saturday


See Kiwi chick this Saturday


We are delighted to report great progress with our kiwi chicks. They have moved out of the nursery and in to an outdoor enclosure. As well as our Pukaha chicks, we have several from Rimutaka Forest - so our little kindergarten of chicks is swelling!

This weekend, around 2pm, one of the chicks will be available for viewing. If you are out and about, enjoying this fabulous early summer weather, come and take a wander up to the lookout, or complete the Loop Walk, and check out our chick at 2pm.

The kiwi house remains closed, although progress on that too has been wonderful, but there is still plenty to do and see. The eel feed and talk is at 1.30, the kiwi chick at 2pm and kaka feed at 3pm - a great day out.

Garden Tour feedback - thank you

Thank you to all the Garden Tour participants who responded to our questionnaire. All the feedback has been great and we have had some wonderful ideas suggested to us. We will keep you posted on the progress of next year's event.

Visitor numbers going up with the temperature

Not surprisingly, the reserve is getting busier with the warmer temperatures. It is a good indication of economic times when we see four or five buses pull in to the carpark every day. We love sharing our place with our visitors and look forward to sharing it with you soon.
