Mindful hiking. Foraging. Ancient Forest experiences. Forest Exploration Workshops. Building Resilience.
Under an ancient canopy
Just 20 minutes south of Cambridge lies the largest mainland ecological Island in the world.
Encased by 42km of pest-proof fencing, Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari is home to many of our critically endangered species thanks to being free of predators.
The ancient forest is what Aotearoa would have been like hundreds of years ago and is a truly special place to bring your group for an offsite day.
For groups of 6 - 16 people.

Client testimonial
"Forget the stale air traditional venue! Keeping our attention, energy levels and engagement levels high was easy in this unique and inspiring setting. From the moment you enter Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari you're treated to an enriching experience. Kylie and the team coached us through a mindful hike which made the “head noise” disappear and enabled us to have a productive and engaging team working session. Being amongst the trees around a table with no pesky technology to get in the way of good old face- to-face conversations (not presentations) was priceless. We were treated to top notch “Nosh” in a wonderful setting."
Douw Van Der Merwe, Director, Anthem Homes
