Alpaca Farmstay

What a lovely hosts! The lady owner was very accommodating. They gave us a private tour and let us fed the alpacas. Nice view from the farm as well.

Highly recommend.!! The bush walk is great, lots of information about the trees and natives. Alpacas were lovely and gentle with our kids. Loved the whole experience

We decided on this farm stay versus travelling to Wellington. When searching for NZ farm stay, Kandish Alpaca farm stay was among the search results. A few farm stay appears commercialized. And the idea of interacting with alpacas was appealing to us. Are we glad we chose Kandish Alpaca farm stay!! Mark and Pav are fantastic and friendly hosts. We got to know the various trees, shrubs that are unique to NZ. And we got to understand the 2 types of alpacas and the ones on the farm are the Suri ones. We got to feed them. We are free to roam and interact with the alpacas and wander around the farm. The accommodation is super cozy. We stayed for 2 nights only and would have stay longer if our time permits. This farm stay is a great way to slow down and relax, enjoying what nature and alpacas have to offer. We thorough enjoyed our stay here, away from the hustle and bustle of city life and touristy areas! I do highly recommend this!

Amazing place and fantastic hosts! The alpacas were absolutely adorable and very friendly (and fluffy!). Walking through the native bush and seeing Mark's steam car was very exciting - it was awesome learning about the car as well as the native bushlife (and the alpacas from Pav). There is definitely something for everyone.Thank you so much for having us!

I absolutely will be returning! We had the best Alpaca farm tour experience! Pav and Mark are incredible, they both embody such a rich culture and empathy for the work they do, and have an abundance of Knowledge about the land and area in which they stay. The bush walk was marvellous as well! would highly recommend! An experience and moment I will never forget. I am so glad I got to be here on my birthday! We also enjoyed feeding Tuscany, she was a joy to meet!

We had a wonderful stay. Super friendly hosts, location is lovely and peaceful. Got to feed the alpacas. Would definitely recommend :)

This place has made us stop even thinking of trying to look for different eco retreat experiences. Has become our go to place to stay when up north. The coziness and hospitality is beyond the best standards and expectations. Go for the full tour and stay over the weekend to get rested 200%

Had the most amazing time here with Mark and Pav and their wonderful alpacas. Couldn't recommend it enough, amazing, kind and generous hosts. Their passion for their alpacas, their land, their work and their home is wonderful and such a joy to be around. Definitely put the alpaca experience and farmstay on the list of must do's!
