A unique southern bioreserve

Mamaku Point Conservation Reserve is a very special place on the north-eastern coastline of Rakiura Stewart Island, Aotearoa New Zealand.

The rugged 172-hectare headland contains an extraordinary variety of flora, including some of the oldest native podocarp forest in the country, and is a thriving habitat to over 128 native species, including 26 native bird species, bats, invertebrates, marine mammals, and a thriving population of kiwi.
