Un endroit absolument incroyable ! La vue est tout simplement à couper le souffle, que ce soit depuis la terrasse ou les sentiers de randonnée aux alentours. Le centre est super bien aménagé avec plusieurs activités gratuites pour petits et grands. Il y a même un petit café avec des prix très abordables – et le meilleur ? Les recharges de café sont gratuites ! ☕️ Le wifi est disponible, l’ambiance est paisible et accueillante… Franchement, tout est réuni pour passer un moment parfait au cœur de la nature. À ne pas manquer si vous êtes dans la région !

Beautiful Park! Great hiking gorgeous trails and views. The trails are well marked and easy to follow. Some elevation but extremely doable. The staff at the visitor center was very helpful and well informed. She gave us excellent advice and information for a great hike and shortcut back to town.

Went for a short visit. Lookouts was awesome. The staff and guide were extremely helpful. Driving to this place was fun, the roads were quite narrow, might want to avoid taking big busses to this place. Drive to this place was short. Parking was easy to find.
Looking forward to trying out the trails soon.

I have been to this visitor center efore. It is very nicely taken care of with plenty of parking and easy access. The view from up there is fantastic and the near by nature trail is beautiful. I recommend checking it out but be careful of the drive there. The roads are tight if you are not used to driving NZ roads.

Such beautiful and relaxing hiking trails here!
The centre is well setup so you get to have a short tour before your walk and a good rest after.
The view is magnificent!
Most important it is not far, with multiple choices of the walking trails fit for all ages.

I went expecting a quick photo op, but walked away with a whole new appreciation for nature. The pictures don't do it justice. The bees! (I was a little nervous), but seeing them work their delicious magic was fascinating. The people working there made it special. They genuinely love what they do, and you can feel it. They shared stories and made me feel like I wasn't just a tourist. If you're looking for a genuine, heart-filled experience, I highly recommend this spot. You'll leave feeling a little more connected to the world, and maybe with a jar of the best honey you've ever tasted.

A really beautiful and organised centre that can offer engaging and purposeful learning for akonga. The staff are super friendly, flexible and accommodating. It was my first time here and definitely not the last!
