Tucked between the hills and the ocean there is a precious remnant of the once abundant Kāpiti lowland swamp forest. Visitors to Ngā Manu will enjoy the accessible and compact 14h site, whether it be the forest, walk-in native bird enclosures or picnicking lawns beside the ponds. Ngā Manu contributes to national and local conservation through its involvement in many species breeding programmes such as kiwi, tuatara, whio/blue duck, as well as endangered lizard species and plant conservation. Take part in the eel feed or take a Native Bird or Reptile Close Encounter. Come back at dusk and see Kiwi up close on a Kiwi Night Encounter, or enjoy the magic of the reserve all to yourself and stay overnight on the Cottage available for hire.
