Part of the Mahi Aroha Summer Programme: There’s more than golf at Wairakei International Golf Course’s “front nine”.

Come and enjoy a leisurely walk around the course, which in recent years has been developed into a stunning wildlife sanctuary. This 180ha property is now home to native birds and serves as a kiwi crèche thanks to its two-metre high and 5km long pest-proof fence. Take a look behind the fence, learn how to track a kiwi with a DOC ranger. You may even be lucky enough to see a kiwi or takahe.
