"After our 2 week road trip around South Island, we decided to do the farm stay before flying back home. This place is very calm, quiet and peaceful. It’s just 15 min drive from Christchurch. The cottages are simple and clean. Kids enjoyed their time with alpacas. It was a wonderful stay.

About Us

Kit and Sheryl have been farming alpacas full time for 23 years. Having come from a farming background, we have paid particular attention to alpaca genetics and have scoured the USA, Australia and New Zealand in search of elite animals.

 

We have focussed on quality not price in all our purchasing decisions and this has taken us to the top of the New Zealand alpaca industry.
