Meet The Animals

You and the kids can also meet the incredible domesticated animals on our Lake Tekapo farm tours, including our farmyard friends, like chickens and Kune-Kune pigs. These animals are fun to be around and make for exciting feeding experiences for children. Alongside these are our Merino sheep, famous for their soft and supple wool. These differ from the run-of-the-mill sheep in many other parts of New Zealand. Finally, you can meet the stars of the show: our alpacas. These curious and gentle creatures play a critical role on the farm and are a favourite among almost everyone visiting us.

Discover More About Sustainable Farming

On our Tekapo farm tours, you will also learn about sustainable farming. You can discover more about the various practices that make high-altitude farming operations possible and how the first agriculturalists in the region had to adapt to its harsh and unforgiving alpine environment. You will learn more about our stewardship of the land and the innovative techniques we use to keep everything ticking over from one season to the next.
