Glenfern Sanctuary is a predator controlled area on Great Barrier Island in the Hauraki gulf of New Zealand, where threatened and endangered species are able to thrive once more

A (very) brief history ...

In 1992 Tony Bouzaid planted the first few trees in his property in Port Fitzroy that was later to become known as Glenfern Sanctuary.

20 years later the area of restoration has been expanded to include the entire 260 hectare peninsula and the Kotuku Peninsula Sanctuary was created.

This area is now protected by a 2km Xcluder Pest Proof Fence and is intensely managed and monitored.

The sanctuary is providing a safe habitat for many endangered native species including the black petrel, brown teal, chevron skink and the recently re-introduced North Island Robin.

Accomodation is available on-site through historic Fitzroy House
