Situated on a private farm on the golden sand shores of Ocean beach on the east coast of Hawkes Bay.

The Lowe family Station and Cape Sanctuary will be the host of this off road event.

The Cape Sanctuary was fenced in 2006, with planting and pest control starting at the same time. Since then ongoing planting of natives in areas retired from farming has created great habitat for our native species while complimenting the farming, forestry & tourism businesses inside the wire.

Intense predator control began when the fence was completed and has continued ever since. As a “leaky” fence and working farm, forestry & tourism operations, The sanctuary will never be completely predator-free, but since 2006 they have dramatically reduced the numbers of predators inside the sanctuary.

When habitat restoration and pest control had advanced they were able to begin translocating species into the sanctuary. They have translocated 18 species, almost all of which are successfully breeding.
