Tathra abounds with wildlife, and to protect this valuable resource 50 acres was set aside in 1978 for the sanctuary. Walking trails have been marked so guests can enjoy this truly delightful place. It is particularly beautiful in Winter, with carpets of ferns, babbling creeks and little waterfalls, and crisp fresh air.

Set high in the Valley, overlooking Tathra, the views from the sanctuary are breathtaking. Kangaroos and Emus are common and Tathra is well known as a bird watching venue, with 51 species now spotted.
