One of New Zealand's rarest birds; The Hihi.
Maungatautari Mountain is one of the very few mainland sanctuaries that is home to the Hihi or Stitchbird. They now number in the low thousands on mainly offshore islands and are only found in New Zealand. This beautiful place is home to a number of endangered NZ species of birds and we are incredibly lucky to have it.
From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
