A young visitor meets some of our alpacas

Since 2006, Liz and Cheryl have hosted Open Days and interactive farm tours which have proven popular with tourists and casual visitors. Take part in a guided tour of our farm – meet all the alpacas from the smallest cria (baby) to the largest stud male, and learn their stories . We’ll introduce you to Kingi and Bracken, our miniture alpacas, and to Seymour – the alpaca who was born blind, but now can see ….more! You’ll be give the chance to cuddle Kingi, Bracken and Seymour – and take them for a walk, too.  We know all our alpacas by name,and many of the alpacas will walk right up to you for a personal introduction.  We are a working farm, so you get to see alpaca farming at the coalface, plus discover how we shear alpacas – its different to sheep!

Take an alpaca for a walk

 If you would like to be our guests and see alpacas al fresco, learn their history, their potential, maintenance and farming issues, the NZ Alpaca Industry, or any other alpaca related topic, meet our alpacas (and us), find out what sets us apart, hear our stories, and get up close and personal to some of our adorable alpacas - please either phone or email for an appointment, we’d love to meet you.
