Trip Advisor were impressed. They’ve awarded Kiwi North (on State Highway 14, just outside Whangārei) their Traveller’s Choice award. Kiwi North’s Qualmark Silver status confirms that this is a tourism business that consistently exceeds visitor expectations and ZAA (Zoo and Aquarium Association Australasia) accreditation means this facility operates to the highest standards. So Kiwi North is doing well.

Allie Fry, the Operations Director of a small, passionate team explains that Kiwi North is the only kiwi house in Northland and the only place where visitors can see tuatara and kiwi. The state-of-the-art kiwi house, opened in January 2011, houses two kiwi and is part of a property with a long natural, historic and social history on a green space held in perpetuity by the Whangārei Museum and
