Forest sanctuary on SH2 — kiwi, kākā and the rare white kiwi, a great drive-break.

Why go

Stretch your legs among native birds, including kiwi, right on the highway.

A Department of Conservation breeding sanctuary in remnant Tararua forest beside SH2 at Mt Bruce, with aviaries and bush walks home to kiwi, kākā, kōkako and tuatara — an easy, worthwhile stop to break the long run south to the Wairarapa.
