Venture into the heart of Aotearoa’s natural beauty with The Cave Where Stars Hang Low, a storytelling playscape inspired by the gentle flow of rivers, the golden glow of kōwhai trees, and the quiet magic of glow worm caves.
This playscape captures a dreamlike moment where earth and sky seem to meet. A softly winding river curves through lush greenery and smooth stones, while a darkened cave invites little ones to peek inside and discover the twinkling secrets within. Glow worms hang from the ceiling like fallen stars, lighting the way for stories to unfold.
This is a place where taniwha rest, curious forest birds flutter near the water’s edge, and where the land invites little hands and big imaginations to explore. A playscape that encourages open ended, nature connected play rooted in the stories and spirit of Aotearoa.
