Frommer's Review
Opened to the public at the beginning of 2001, this 252-hectare (623-acre) reservoir catchment is now a safe haven for native birds. Only minutes from the Inner City, it is home to rare native wildlife such as kiwi, saddlebacks, and tuatara, which were reintroduced after all pests and predators had been removed from the valley. Enjoy a 1 1/2-hour guided bush walk and learn about the history of the area as well as plans for the continuing development of this unique Inner City greenbelt. The Sanctuary by Night tours are a real treat. They depart daily 30 minutes before sunset.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
