Nau Mai, Haere Mai, Welcome to
The Brook Waimārama Sanctuary – an extraordinary part of New Zealand. Visit us today!
The Brook Waimārama Sanctuary is the largest fenced Sanctuary for endangered plants and creatures in the South Island.
Just a 10-minute drive from Nelson City but tucked away, immerse yourself in the natural beauty of New Zealand’s native bush. Take a deep breath and engage.
“We endeavor to connect visitors, staff, and volunteers with nature. Our goal is to encourage environmental responsibility and contribute to the restoration of local and national ecosystems. We hope that visitors will experience the mauri (life force), vital essence, and spirituality of this natural environment.”

Ready for a wildlife adventure? Here’s the secret to spotting the elusive kākāriki karaka (orange-fronted parakeet) at the Sanctuary! 👀 These rare, vibrant parakeets thrive in our predator-free haven, but only the luckiest visitors catch a glimpse. 🍀
Want to up your chances? You could hike to the highest point of the Sanctuary… or better yet, join our bird monitoring volunteer team! 🦜 Our dedicated kākāriki team knows all their hidden nesting spots and regularly sees these beauties.
Our staff sometimes get a shortcut to the top and can catch them hanging out in the beech trees on the way down. 🍂🔭
PLUS, if you want to support even more of these orange-fronted wonders, VOTE for them as Bird of the Year at birdoftheyear.org.nz! Every vote helps us raise funds to protect these incredible birds! 💚

We’re fighting for the kākāriki karaka to make it out on top!
We love and support all birds but we’re just a little sad we didn’t make it in the top 10 halfway through the #BirdOfTheYear competition 😢😭
The race is still anyone’s game though and we need your support more than ever to select the kākāriki karaka, orange-fronted parakeet as your #1 pick on birdoftheyear.org.nz 🦜✅

If we can’t get your vote for adult orange fronted parakeets then you guessed it we’re sure as heck going to try through these cute lil’ babies😅
Only one more week to check the box next to kākāriki karaka at birdoftheyear.org.nz 🍃🌏🦜
