We were greeted by Kākā within minutes of arrival, woken by them the next morning, and they didn't miss a day visiting us - we had never seen Kākā before, so this was so special.
The home itself is gorgeous, with views out towards Ulva Island and easy access to Golden Bay to visit this predator free bird sanctuary.
Five minute walk (if that) to Traill Park where we have heard there are kiwi. One hour walk to Ackers Bay where we saw Little Blue Penguin and Kiwi just after dusk. Fifteen minute walk from town/ferry terminal (uphill).
Worth every penny, we never wanted to leave and we already want to come back!!
