Whangarei Kiwi House, Heritage Park & Museum

Kiwi North is great for wet days, dry days, families, train enthusiasts and anyone keen to see some live kiwi. Set in an attractive 25ha park the site features a Kiwi House, several historic Victorian buildings, a museum, heritage club collections and boasts excellent views over Whangarei city and harbour.

On our last visit to the recently refurbished nocturnal kiwi house in Whangarei we were fortunate to see 2 kiwi foraging for food and having a fight directly in front of the large glass window. We hope you are just as lucky!
