Round up the family for a fun and authentic experience of New Zealand farm life!
A fantastic day out for the kids - you can feed and pat our friendly resident goats, miniature horses, alpacas, llamas, sheep, cows, bunnies and guinea pigs, chooks, turkeys, roosters and ducks!
A great chance to get those picture perfect photos for the family album! Set on a gorgeous Glenorchy family farm, you’ll be surrounded by spectacular views - from the farm you can see as far as the lake and the Rees and Dart Valleys, Humboldt mountain range and the wetland!
The Glenorchy Animal Experience also includes a daily sheep shearing demonstration at 2.30pm each day during spring, summer, and autumn* - this is a fascinating view into the world of sheep sharing and the amazing skill involved!
There’s also plenty of farm related artefacts and curios to look and there’s even a small shop to purchase a souvenir from you visit!
A fun and relaxing day out for all ages - come and experience the magic of New Zealand farm life!
Individual passes available here!
Thank you for your lovely review. Belle who you referred to as Highland cow (she was an Ayrshire Jersey cross) was an absolute honey hence features on our advertising material. Your daughter on the photo is patting Daisy - Belle's daughter. Sadly Belle herself passed away. But again thanks for your visit and the positive review!
Nice and clean and a very good accommodation highly recommended....
5stars appreciated 🙂, but this review may have been meant for somewhere that actually offers accommodation?
Overall, my wee boys loved the experience and for them it was well worth it. The animals are very well looked after and you can see the people taking care of them has a passion for their job. The farm was also well kept and had spectacular views. The sheep shearing was also very informative once again a hit with our boys. Animals are tame and friendly. The whole experience will take you about 1-1:30 hours including the shearing.
Cheers Eloise for detailed and positive review and of course for your visit. ?
The hand feeding and patting of the animals is an experience our son won’t forget anytime soon. The ducklings were let out the day we were there which was adorable and the cheeky miniature horse would come home with us if we could do that! I loved the deer but she would only eat from our son’s hand, not mine. We loved it.
What a lovely review. And Shadow the red deer keeps on amazing everyone. Including us. Many thanks for your visit.
Thank you for visiting and seeing the beauty of our animals ❤. We agree, Shadow the deer is amazing.

Absolutely loved this
This was the highlight of our 4 day Central otago trip, my kids faces were lit up the whole time, if I had to be really picky I would say I was disappointed that there was not a highland cow as shown in the main picture on bookme, this cow was the reason I booked, other than that it was awsome and I highly recommend
