Tui Nature Reserve is made up of 42 hectares of mature and regenerating native bush, located in the Outer Pelorus, in the Marlborough Sounds on New Zealand's South Island. Thirty-eight hectares are legally protected as part of the Queen Elizabeth II National Trust, thus ensuring preservation for generations to come. As part of a peninsula with no road access, the Reserve will in time become one of New Zealand's few 'mainland island’ sanctuaries.
To support our conservation project we built eco accommodation in the reserve and give eco boat tours. The number of visitors at Tui Nature Reserve will always be low. This will make your experience personal and a lifetime memory. Enjoy the beautiful walking tracks, secluded beaches, kayaking, native mature bush or just relax and enjoy the magnificent views. All our profits from the accommodation and boat tours is used for maintenance and improvements in the reserve. Donations and grants are used to start new projects and to keep up with the ongoing cost and to secure the future of the reserve.
We invite you to explore our website and welcome you to stay.

To make a start with the bird-release of species like Robins and Kakariki we need to build a 1000 meters long predator fence in the neck of the peninsula. A diverting / restricting predator fence combined with a solar powered electrical fence. The cost of this fence is estimated at $30 per meter. We have secured funding for approx 700 meters so far and are looking for donations to fund the last 300 meters. MAKE A DONATION / READ MORE
