Āhuru Mōwai
Eco-Sanctuary

Who we are

Āhuru Mōwai: (Māori noun) calm place

Āhuru Mōwae Eco-Sanctuary was created in 1924
to return this beautiful coastal bush clad area to its
former glory. With 800 years of pest and population
invasion to recover from, in the last 18 years this slice
of paradise has regained some of its pre-human beauty.
