We saw kiwis 2 of our 3 nights. In the small wee hours but still, worth it staying up/waking up for that for sure. The stars alone are a treat. One kiwi randomly encountered on the driveway started sniffing inside one of our shoes as we wandered down to the beach in the dark. Quite surreal! And the view of the bay from the lovely, clean and cosy house is super special.
