Maungatautari Reserve

Maungatautari Reserve As you enter the Maungatautari Reserve, not half of the enchanting greenery will meet your expectations… Open your mind to the native trees and the green plantation as you stand at the top of the watchtower. See what you are looking at, when you gaze upon the tiny berries and the fairy sized streams. Listen to the wondrous sound of the native birds chirping as if they want attention. Sit down and let the whistling wind rush across your face, and see if you can hear the woosh of the rustling plants and the tinkle of the rushing streams. Sit on the dwarf sized seats and listen to the screeching of the Kaka. Listen also to its flapping wings. Admire the soft footsteps of the Takahe. Let the smell of the fresh pine and kauri waft around you, like a thunder of dragons circling their prey. If you venture in the morning you shall smell the fresh morning dew. Admire the scent of the newly dug dirt and the fresh water brooks. Come to Maungatautari and find the wonders that await you! Description Written by Penelope Hare
