Otorohanga Giant Kiwi
The Otorohanga Giant Kiwi is a well-known landmark located in the town of Otorohanga, often referred to as the “Kiwiana capital of New Zealand.” This large sculpture stands proudly at the entrance of Otorohanga Kiwi House, a wildlife sanctuary dedicated to New Zealand’s iconic bird, the kiwi.
The giant kiwi statue is a popular spot for visitors to snap photos and marks the town’s strong connection to New Zealand's cultural heritage, or "Kiwiana," which includes symbols like the kiwi bird, jandals, and pavlova.
