It’s a short drive from the City and once you are in the grounds it’s easy to navigate your way around. Just follow the boardwalk and there is no need to keep looking at the map provided. The reserve is split into three regions and each has something to offer for everyone. We loved the flow of the place and it was very well laid out. From the first viewing of the eels as you enter to finishing off with the kiwi it was great. The kea were one of our favourites as we got to sit and watch them being cheeky they even tried pecking at my wife’s handbag at one point but were magical to watch flying around. The kiwi house was also fascinating with I think four of them snuffling and scurrying around we could have stayed for hours watching them as at times you were so close to them. Even if you don’t have kids but love a little bush walk and wildlife, this is definitely worth the admission price.Written 19 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- ScriboWellington, New Zealand196 contributionsWe enjoyed our trip on the gondola. It stopped three times on the way up which was a bit disconcerting. Otherwise the view from the top is good.Written 18 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- missjaybChristchurch, New Zealand8 contributionsSo many things for the children to do, from teeny tots to big adult kids ;)
There is also great food vendors there (I think only on the weekend) and free BBQ's too... If you are looking for somewhere to kill time in between naps, this is the playground for your family!Written 22 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - LynB1Auckland Central, New Zealand105 contributionsVery interesting indeed - but allow plenty of time to take it all in, especially the video interviews with people affected by the quakes. We thought two hours would be plenty but they had to ask us to leave after three hours, as they were closing!Written 15 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Sandra MReading, UK3 contributionsVery poignant tinged in sadness ,but also reflecting on those who will never see the sun again ,a place for rememberence and quiet reflectionWritten 12 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- macpeanutsSingapore, Singapore59 contributionsStunning from start to finish.
This was the third walk I did this month after the Heaphy and Rakiura tracks. All Very different and offering different landscapes and challenges. This was absolutely delightful and charming.
The accomodation was unique, quirky, clean and comfortable with everything you need and options for all types of traveller.
The walk itself offered stunning views, beautiful bush, waterfalls, swimming holes, long comfortable stretches and a few challenges and uphill climbs, all the wildlife and farmlife to satisfy every interest.
Can not recommend this walk highly enough. Perfect for a two or three day hiking option in a stunning part of the country free of crowds and busy walkways.Written 12 April 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - cpcogWellington, New Zealand1,329 contributionsA park full of green areas that you would love in summer time. It is big for wandering around or sitting down to relax. Easy to access with lot of parking area.Written 4 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- 19Francis72New Plymouth, New Zealand77 contributionsThere s plenty of exhibits which were easily viewable. Everton was well explored and it would take more than one visit to read it all. Our daughters who are young teens loved the place and had fun exploring. Would visit again.Written 23 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
