Willowbank developed out of a love and respect for our wildlife and environment. The natural setting and authenticity of displays, along with the conservation and preservation goals, makes Willowbank a uniquely intimate and satisfying experience. Get to know New Zealand's national icon - only Willowbank is open at night time, which allows you to enjoy the habits of our nocturnal Kiwis, just as nature intended. Take a guided tour and we guarantee you will spot a Kiwi. Discover Tane Mahuta (the Maori God of the Forest) at our Ko Tane Maori Cultural performance and a people who live in harmony with nature and whose culture has grown. Taste New Zealand cuisine in our restaurant, with a huge open fire in the winter and inquisitive deer at the window.
