    Kia Ora and Welcome!

    We are an Animal Sanctuary & Permaculture Project, established in 2016 as an intentional small community with residents, living-in volunteers and external helpers.

    We are currently home to: Alpacas, Donkeys, Ponies, Sheep, Pigs, Cats, Cattle, Rabbits, Birds, Fish, Chickens, Goats, Turkey's and retired ex-racing Greyhounds which we foster to re-home.

    The property has been established under permaculture principles with compost toilet, low waste scheme, food forest and organic veggie garden by experienced specialists with permaculture education (we no longer teach permaculture as we are now focused on the animal sanctuary, but we have a lovely veggie garden and fruit orchard that we regularly work on to provide food for the volunteers). We compost pretty much everything and are using it as fertile organic soil for our organic veggie and fruit gardens - we are also aiming towards being zero waste.

    We are compassionate about all beings and therefore suitable for vegans, vegetarians and animal lovers.

    EARTHBOUND KITCHEN, We provide 3 meals a day (made by Alex, Harrison or one of the volunteers on site). We provide the basics for example, Rice, Pasta, legumes, Grains, Flours, Nuts and Seeds, Dried Fruits, Spices, Oils, Vinegars, Canned and bottled goods.

    We don’t have any meat or animal food products on the property and there is also no smoking, drugs or alcohol allowed.

    With this intention in mind and set within the breathtaking landscape and wildlife of the Para Wetlands, you'll probably find it's the most tranquil and peaceful place on Earth.

    Our goal is to be an Animal Sanctuary set within permaculture gardens and grounds to care for and re-home animals in need and produce organic food for our own consumption under permaculture principles and share our passion for animals with the community.

    We have a sanctuary van on-site that can be used by volunteers as we are not in walking distance to any shops.


    Who is involved?

    Maia (Comes on-site when available), founder and director, was born in Germany and immigrated in 2011 to NZ. She works on the greyhound re-homing program and fish keeping and focusses on other projects which include essential oil healing, family constellation, yoga classes and workshops on plant-based nutrition.

    Alex (lives on-site), certified in animal science, welfare and health, born and raised locally, lives with her pet cows Theodore, Matao, Olive and dogs since 2019 at Te and is the manager-on-site, looking after the animals. She's working alongside the volunteers in the gardens, grounds and paddocks and shares the lunch meals in the Kitchen.
