My family went without knowing much about the place since we had some time. The receptionist was full of knowledge, gave us information about local flora, fauna and culture, and didn't try to upsell any aspect of the place - letting us know that the tallest tree in New Zealand" was "just a tall

What an excellent place! Lovely walks and the well places bird feeders mean you can see a lot of bird life, especially if you stand quietly at a feeder for a few minutes while the birds return after hearing you approach. The cafe was nicer than I was expecting with a lovely soup that tasted home made.

Loved it here. Great place to see so many birds including takahe, Tui, bellbirds and the South Island robin. The cafe there is really good too.

Lovely place to visit and just sit in the trees and watch the birds. Most is stroller friendly all though we stick to the easy tracks.The walk times are a dawdle, you could walk it much quicker than advertised.

A really nice option to spend 2-4 hours on a weekend. They have quite a variety of birds and animals. And a few options for trekking routes - fast one-hour trail and longer ones as well. We took the longer option and managed to spend about 2.5 hours. They’ve multiple viewing platforms and benches next to feeding and drinking props for the birds. You can get nice and close views of the birds and lots of photo ops. Also possible to photo-capture the birds on the trees. We didn’t manage to see the geckos though.

Lovely place, well laid out pathways and strategically placed 'feeders' giving close up encounters with many rare birds.The cafe / coffee shop is lovely too.

This felt very natural and we saw 8 different types of birds. The staff were lovely and we'd definitely go again. The Kaka we're very cheeky and kept us amused.
