Enjoy modern conference facilities, break-out spaces, in-house catering, free parking, and over 200ha of beautiful native forest.

Research1 shows that nature has the power to change the way we think and feel, and has been associated with lower levels of stress cortisol, lower blood pressure, and improved cognitive function.

Time in nature can also evoke creative solutions and flexible thinking, which can be particularly useful in developing ideas.

We welcome you and your colleagues to spend time in the iconic Wellington wildlife sanctuary to recharge, collaborate, brainstorm or simply relax.

Back inside the visitor centre you can take advantage of the private spaces and modern conference facilities to collaborate and further develop your insights.

Our in-house baristas and catering team will keep you supplied with the delicious food and drink you need to fuel a productive day away from the office.
