Te Huingi Manu Wildlife Refuge is in two parts, north and south of Dyers Road, including the whole of the oxidation ponds. The northern area is bounded by Cuthberts, Breezes, Dyers and Ruru Roads, and the southern area runs from Dyers Road to the estuary edge, largely in line with the shape of the pond fencing.

Its name change was gazetted on 17 February 1983, making it Te Huingi Manu. It is an offence under the Wildlife Act to take a dog into a wildlife refuge.
