This is a great place to take my grandchildren. They love seeing the birds from the watching shed overlooking the river and port. In addition, they enjoy walking the paths, playing on the climbing frames and the zip wire. The circular wooden building, that contains a gift shop and restaurant, has a spiral walkway gives access to the roof that has great views of the local area. We go there regularly. I recommend a visit.

Was lovely place, quiet, nobody around, just few families with children came after noon to play on the children recreaction park with zipline and few other things. Nature is wild enough to see some lovely birds and hear the sound of nature. The view is what it is with the international big port in front, but still quiet and the contrast is not so bad

Excellent visitor centre with all needed for non dinner, lunch type refreshments. Toilets and lovely viewpoint where you can sit either at a table or lounge type seating. A little souvenir shop. FREE PARKING! Shh before someone from accounts spoils it! Lovely walks on well maintained path and bird hides.

This is a magnificent location for a dog walk. Trails are well established and fairly extensive. There is parking, a play area for kids and magnificent views. The dog could walk on grass or pathway, but was not completely muddied when we got back. There is information about the wildlife as you walk along and the cafe, while not a particularly attractive building on the outside, was an excellent landmark to help find your bearings. I went on a day when the sky was cloudy and rain was due in the afternoon and I had a two-hour dry window.

Lovely round wooden building with a cute gift shop with lots of eco things and dog toys. The cafe look great but the food is disappointing, I had a very dry baked potato served on a tiny plate with no salad and my partner had some very go hum cheese on toast. A real missed opportunity as the cafe has wonderful views of the huge cranes of the container port and lots of incredible birds.
