Visit and stay

Shorebirds are here all year round, the highest numbers are present from January to March. The Shorebird Center is open 9-5 but you can go and see the birds whenever the tide is in.

The Shorebird Centre has overnight accommodation; self-contained units as well as bunkrooms for hire. Stay with us us while you check out New Zealand's shorebirds.

Tides

The best time to view the birds is 2 hours either side of high tide. The tide is similar to the Thames high tide which you can find here, or for visits further out visit Linz and search for Rocky Point.

If you've got a proposed date and aren't sure about the tides call us 092322781 9am-5pm or email us and we'll go through the details with you.
