A stay at Mount Tutu Eco-Sanctuary is an Outdoor Education Experience and immersion in the Natural Ecology, ongoing Bush and Bird Conservation programmes at the Sanctuary and at the nearby Otanewainuku Forest.

Mount Tutu Eco-Sanctuary is a "Mainland Island" Sanctuary: a paradise that is protected by an Act of Parliament, Queen Elizabeth II National Trust Act, a sanctuary that is ring fenced, allowing the natural environment to blossom. This Sanctuary has had a conservation programme operating for the past 26 years to protect this natural environment. This is a special place where the environment is respected and no chemical weed sprays are used.

- Be guided, or self explore the rainforest tracks, trailing through ancient native bush. New Zealand is a safe country with no dangerous animals, no snakes, no tropical diseases.

- There are Puketea Trees over 500 years old and a gravity defying Tawa giant that has a girth at its base of 5 metres.

- Hand feed the animals and waterfowl.

- Hear the morning chorus of native birdsong.

- Stroll around the expansive gardens.

- Enjoy the views as if you are soaring with the New Zealand Falcon 1000 ft up.

- Outdoor Education in Bushcraft and Native Flora by Tim Short (a former Mountain Safety Council Bushcraft Instructor - former mountaineer and Search and Rescue Volunteer - currently a volunteer for the Otanewainuku Kiwi Trust). Tim also has had a Department of Conservation Permit since 1989 to breed native waterfowl and since 1995, Kakariki's (N.Z. native parakeet).
