Spend time with the animals

Cute animals, up close and personal, feeding them from the palm of your hands is priceless.

Nice farm

just few minutes driving from our accommodation. all the animals are very active and you can pet all of them. unlike other farm which charge you for at least 50NZD for a visit, this one allows you to have interaction with animals at a better price.
