    Great place to see native birds

    This is a great place to see native birds. Kids also enjoyed. Small place, but lots of different kinds. Easy to walk around.

    Highly recommend to go there when the birds are being fed. We saw it at 3:30pm and Kylie, who was telling us a lot of interesting facts about kiwis, was absolutely amazing. The kiwi lady herself surprised us with her speed and passionate kungfu kicks. But it's not only about kiwis, there are more nice birds to see. We enjoyed this trip!
