Te Korito Alpacas is open between 10am and 5pm for visits all year round - booking is essential though. As we host families and small groups only, we offer an individual experience.
An introductory talk on the alpacas is followed by feeding and interacting with the alpacas. If you wish, you can take some on halter and leads for a walk around our paddocks. There will be plenty of time for photos! Afterwards, visitors can feel raw and processed fleeces. We also have a range of alpaca fleece products for sale.
Please enter your details into the form below to book your visit. We will reply shortly to confirm your booking. If your choice is already booked, we will suggest the closest available time slot.
Poor weather may mean that booked visits need to be postponed (rain is no fun for alpacas or visitors!). We will contact you if the weather looks unsuitable to visit.
Sorry, but you cannot bring a dog to our farm.
Payment can be made by bank transfer (details on request), PayPal or cash. Unfortunately we do not have EFTPOS or credit card facilities.
Please complete all boxes as indicated and click the 'Send Booking' button.
