Keeper Talks:
The Otorohanga Kiwi House is a truly authentic New Zealand nature experience owned and operated by a non-profit organisation dedicated to the conservation of New Zealand's native wildlife through education, display and breeding programs.
Lots to see. Saw 2 kiwi birds. Staff helpful, taking me out to show me where 3 tuataras were hiding.
Great staff and super knowledgeable about kiwi bird!
There were 2 nocturnal houses for the kiwi which was the big draw for us. We went as a couple and suddenly saw a dim shape at the back which came to the front digging around with its beak and having water from the pond at the front. We got a really good view for a long time. We didn’t actually think we would see one and took a photo of the kiwi in a glass case at the entrance to show what they were like. We then went to the 2nd house and saw another kiwi searching for food in logs and the leafy floor. After this excitement, we went and saw the other native birds and took photos of them in their areas. We went back to the kiwis afterwards and were rewarded once again. Absolutely fantastic and good value for money if you’re counting. Wonderful to see these rare creatures.
It was on my New Zealand must do's to see a Kiwi bird. I commend You for your conservation wrk. ??????????

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!
