Brook Sanctuary Nelson

New Zealand's nature has a calming and rejuvenative effect on humans.

 Hear the sounds of waterfalls and birds at Brooks Sanctuary.

The Brook Sanctuary is located just a few kilometres from downtown Nelson. The Sanctuary was established on the site of the city’s former water works by a group of  visionary individuals. After years of labour, intense fundraising and unwavering community support, the Brook Sanctuary is now a haven for nature lovers. Start at the visitor centre, an immersive outdoor classroom, then walk through a set of gates at the 14.4km pest-proof fence. The tracks are well maintained with pedestrian bridges,  (some of wheelchair standard). You will quickly discover how important Wildlife Sanctuaries are both now and in the future. Also by watching this VR/360 experience you will be helping to support the Sanctuary Trust.
