Join Us for a Summer Open Day at the Sanctuary!

During summer months, we invite you to experience the heart of our sanctuary during our regular open days. Each event includes an engaging guided tour where you’ll have the unique opportunity to meet our beloved animals up close. As you stroll through the sanctuary, you’ll learn their individual stories, discover the incredible work we do to care for them, and understand the mission behind our organization.
What to Expect: The tour lasts approximately 1-2 hours and involves a leisurely walk through our grounds, which offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape. You will connect with our animals in a serene setting. After the tour, indulge in a delightful vegan afternoon tea, featuring a selection of tasty treats, all crafted to celebrate plant-based cuisine. Your ticket purchase not only provides you with this enjoyable experience but also supports the ongoing care and well-being of our animals.
Contributions Welcome: In addition to ticket sales, we greatly appreciate donations of fresh fruits, vegetables, or hay to help nourish our residents. Your generosity directly contributes to their health and happiness!
Important Details:

• Weather Dependency: Please note that our open days are weather-dependent. In the event of rain, we will need to cancel or postpone, and full refunds will be provided.
• Preparation: To ensure a comfortable experience, we recommend wearing sturdy closed-toe footwear and bringing sunblock. Given the nature of our environment, it’s wise to dress in clothing that you don’t mind getting a little muddy.
• Safety Policies: As we are a human vegan space, no animal food products are allowed on the sanctuary grounds. Additionally, for the safety of our vulnerable animals, we cannot permit dogs on site.

Accessibility: We strive to be inclusive; however, please be aware that the sanctuary is not wheelchair accessible. If you have specific questions or need assistance with accessibility, feel free to email us prior to your visit.
Extend Your Visit: Make a day of your outing! Our sanctuary is conveniently located just 5 minutes from the picturesque Ōtaki River, where you can enjoy stunning views and tranquil surroundings, perfect for a scenic stroll or picnic. We are also only 20 minutes from the charming town and beautiful beach of Ōtaki, offering additional opportunities to soak in the local beauty.
We look forward to welcoming you for a day of connection, compassion, and community!
